triviality

Triviality is evil - triviality, that is, in the form of consciousness and mind that adapts itself to the world as it is, that obeys the principle of inertia. And this principle of inertia truly is what is radically evil.

Running keeps me at a physical peak and sharpens my senses. It makes me touch and see and hear as if for the first time. Through it I get through the first barrier to true emotions, the lack of integration with the body. Into it I escape from the pettiness and triviality of everyday life. And, once inside,stop the daily pendulum perpetually oscillating between distraction and boredom...It is the swing from boredom to anxiety, from depression to worry, that exhausts and defeats us. The sure knowledge that we can be much more than we are frustrates us.

Because, as we all know, it__ easier to do trivial things that are urgent than it is to do important things that are not urgent, like thinking. And it__ also easier to do little things we know we can do than to start on big things that we__e not so sure about.

I believe that the mind can be permanently profaned by the habit of attending to trivial things.

When love is roaming in our mind, looping in the deepest fringes of our heart, undreamt spaciousness emerges, repealing the constraints of triviality and letting stifling narrowness fade away. While our mindset is besieged by a revolving burst of emotion, our world is ultimately opening up. (Cape of good hope)

What a peculiar civilisation this was: inordinately rich, yet inclined to accrue its wealth through the sale of some astonishingly small and only distantly meaningful things, a civilisation torn and unable sensibly to adjudicate between the worthwhile ends to which money might be put and the often morally trivial and destructive mechanisms of its generation.

The problem is politics is made a sport, almost as much a sport as football or baseball. When it comes to politics, adults and politicians do more finger-pointing and play more games than children ever do. Too often are we rooting for the pride of a team rather than the good of the nation.

If you're tired of triviality, maybe it's time you changed your life.

Science is an organized pursuit of triviality.Art is a casual pursuit of significance.Let's keep it in perspective.

In the nearest future, those who understood the value of time will rule over those who trivialized time.

You trivialize time when you don__ know what to do with it.

My charge to you and to anyone else who desire greatness is that you should not trivialize time.

Don__ trivialize the fact that your life is diminishing.

I know so much pressure is on all of us to waste time and to just trivialize it. There is so much pressure on us to try to overcome boredom by spending time on frivolities.

Don__ live your life not to know what to do with your time. If you don__ have any results to show for all your passing time, then you must have been trivializing time and you must have been living your life carelessly.

What dire offence from am'rous causes springs,What mighty contests rise from trivial things,...

He who climbs upon the highest mountains laughs at all tragedies, real or imaginary.

Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
