In the course of our day, it's easy to immerse ourselves in the shallow stuff, revel in silly humor and chitchat, and get lured by interesting novelties. They are delightful in their own right, but they are nothing but cheap thrills, quick fixes, momentary pick-me-uppers.
Because we gauge ourselves not by how we've successfully flooded our surroundings with all our favorite trivialities. We measure ourselves by our last thoughts at night, the decisions we've made and the ones we put off making, and the price we are willing to pay for all these. We recognize what we value by where our thoughts gravitate to almost subconsciously, even when we try in vain to stop it from wandering there again. Because sometimes, all we want is one thing, however simplistic or nonsensical, that will make everything feel better, brighter, and right again.
It is logical to embrace these pleasant distractions. They are cups of hot cocoa during cold rainy days, good until the time the sun is ready to shine again.
