My mother taught me that anything small enough to fit into a pocketbook must be cheap, otherwise people would think of it as free. In love we torture ourselves waiting for the next petty favor, but we take the important things for granted. We prosecute marijuana dealers to the fullest extent of the law, but turn a blind eye to unlawful business that occurs on the scale of trillions of dollars.

The human mind fixates on the details which we believe we can more easily control, but perhaps too often and too soon we let the big picture go unnoticed to avoid feeling powerless.
