We Quibble And Quarrel, Ignoring The Fire Around Us

I’m surrounded by dissention, anger and invective. It makes me want to scream. 

There are so many critical discussions, history making decisions that we need to make as a society and as a species. 

Why do we seek out, aggressively, so many petty things with which to bicker and squabble over? I watch, time and time again, people waste monumental energy over the minor and leave the critical ignored. 

Perhaps it’s easier, and less frightening, to engage with the petty than with the important. It’s also useless.
