We seem to be finding comfort in the mundane, in the mediocre. We seem to be blissfully disillusioned by all the luxury we're amidst...
"New year sales are here. I'll finally buy that dress!"
"He's online, why isn't he saying hi?"
"Treat me at least now, for your new job, car, house...!"
"I'll beat the traffic today and work from home!"
"Damn, the hangover!"
May be there'll come a day when we'll begin to find the mundane fascinating... May be our eyes will gleam at the everydayness of the violence, pettiness, negativity, backbiting, deaths.
When, then, will we start fighting the bigger fights?
