A Journey Into the Unknown

Through out the years people have continuously explored the unknown. These people include Thomas Edison in his invention of the light bulb , The Wright Brothers in their invention of the classic "Flying Machine", slaves as they traveled from all the knew; slavery, to the North to find freedom and so many others. I feel people devote their lives to this and the discovery of the unknown because they are either simply curious, they would, like to know why things work the way they do, or they are looking for something better than they have. These discoveries often lead to sacrifice. Some of these sacrifices could include loneliness because either the person has a family and they have to be left behind for the succession of their dreams, or the person never had a family or a companion and they have to continue life this way because they are too busy to do otherwise. Other sacrifices include time and frustration. Just like with Edison and his light bulb ,discoveries take time and many failures. Edison failed more than 1,00 times and i personally know that when failure is evident so is frustration. Quite a few things contribute to the study and discovery of the unknown and without these hardships we would not have the amenities we do today and i am grateful for that.
