Pettiness.
Recently I finished reading a couple of Holocaust stories. Stories of courage and hope. Stories with characters who rose above the pettiness of humanity as I know it.
A mere 67 years ago, people couldn't afford to be petty. They couldn't afford to quibble over whether this dress matched that top. They couldn't afford to worry if they had to write down all of their assets. (Yes all of their assets, not some of their assets.) They focused on life itself.
Humanity at that time was focused on survival. They were focused on something so precious as life itself.
Let us focus on something greater than our petty little losses. Let us focus on something greater than our petty little quibbles. Let us focus on making this world a better place. A more loving place. A haven for future generations.
Let us bring light with one good idea at a time. Let us bring light with one good word at a time. Let us bring light with one good action at a time.
Stop the pettiness. Bring light.
(Bring a smile to someones face today, that is light.)
