Surely It’s Important

Hillary Clinton is weeping (important to Republicans), Tony Romo is traveling in Mexico (important to Dallas Cowboy fans), Brittany Spears is losing her kids, perhaps her career, and maybe her mind (important to her mother, I hope), and the Hollywood writers are refusing to write (important to TV addicts). I am not sure how our society has managed to survive these major crisis situations.

It makes one think seriously about what really is important in life. Don’t hear me saying that these things are not important, indeed they are to one degree or another, but what we need to see clearly is the trivialization of our thought process when we ignore the really significant facts that face our Nation and our World.

If Hillary can’t cry, what does that say about her and us? It’s only a game (Cowboys vs. anybody), right? Brittany is a valuable human being, but makes her own choices about how she abuses life. TV already takes up too much of our time, and the more creative the writers, the more we get sucked into the maelstrom.

Find something really important in life. Focus on that! The world needs people who will commit to better, not lesser, things.
