The Importance Of Unimportance

I made a list of unimportant things: I put importance at the top.

  1. I'm particularly fond of the late, great, Douglas Adams' work of genius - The Meaning of Liff.
    I believe his definition for the word "worksop" is - "Somebody who never gets anything done, as they spend all their time making lists headed THINGS TO DO - URGENT"
    Nice aphorism, cheers.

  2. I so enjoy your posts. As usual, I'm filling in with my own thoughts, which is the idea I believe.

  3. 'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
    'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
    And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
    'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
    When true simplicity is gain'd,
    To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
    To turn, turn will be our delight,
    Till by turning, turning we come 'round right.[4]

  8. eventually everything unimportant will become the most important, we just need to remember to never leave it behind.

  9. I'll admit, this one baffles me a little, though I know what's unimportant to me might be very important to someone else and vice versa. You shouldn't count anything out!

  13. Good one, Marty! That would be on the top of my list as well. The important thing about importance is that is it unimportant, so true!
