There is a lot going on these days. And if you are anything like me, you're trying to take it all in at once. I spend all day trying to stay caught up on just the most crucial of things and still have a lot of things that fall through the cracks. This is all well and good, but when I finally had some time to sit down and reflect on the things I spend my time focusing on, one things became apparent. I waste a lot of time on trivial things.
And I don't mean trivial in the sense of trying to keep up on celebrity gossip or the newest trends in music. I mean trivial in the sense that my involvement in them will have no great impact on the world at large. And ultimately, the world at large won't be any better or worse because of them.
Now, these things all have their place I suppose, but we need to look at the bigger picture. What are we not focusing in on as a society because of the amount of time we spend on the trivial? What kind of impact could we make if we just spent some small amount of time that we normally spend on trivial things trying to make the world a better place?
The only way to find out for sure is by turning off the tv, putting up the computer, getting out into the world we all know to be severely broken, and making a difference.
