Importance, like dullness, is relative
Play
Politics and economic implosions in Greece are boring but important.
Likewise, the political and economic problems of the EU are ho-hum, except to some US news media and politicians who are apparently glad to see their closest allies suffering.
Handmade Thai lanterns in the sky are truly beautiful and airliners are boring, but such lanterns can destroy jet engines and thus kill people inside airliners. That is not good.
Some people are cheering for lower oil prices while others are preparing for catastrophes in security exchanges because of those prices, which all sounds messy to me. Reality is boring, but important, so obviously people should ignore it in favour of things that are exciting and unimportant (like this letter).
On the other hand, if I never read or hear the word Israel ever again, I wouldn’t miss the excitement and unimportance of it.
