When you aren’t busy enough doing something productive, the little things in life will make you crazy.
The size of a person is the size of the issue that warrants their prolonged attention and their strongest emotions.
Are we going to get upset when when we can find a paper clip?
Or are we going to get upset–and motivated–when we realize that global warming is a clear and present danger? Or when our communities don’t have safe drinking water?
We must moderate our anger, harness our indignation.
We must budget our emotions and direct them to the important things.
Little things can wait.
