Learnt something new again from your post. Never heard previously the full sentence of curiosity killed the cat but the truth brought it back to life. In that case, the cat dying isn't that bad lol, perhaps it's necessary?

I think for the most part, Hive mirrors reality in general. We humans will always have contradictory/conflicting thoughts/behaviour. We may want everyone to do better, but not better than us, for example. For me, I try as much as I can to see the reality just as it is, and then act accordingly, depending on the context.
