Humans are usually are concerned with their immediate surroundings and especially in our society we are taught to think only about ourselves not considering others or their feelings. This is the reason that a lot of people spend their lives thinking about themselves, being jealous of others and entangling themselves in petty issues which in the whole scheme of things don’t really mean a lot and if one looks at a bigger picture and the world beyond the local neighborhood and the struggle to keep up with the Joneses then one would realize that there are far more important issues there are out there and which not only are facts of life like hundreds of thousands dying in a meaningless war, or how millions of people don’t even have the hope to live.  My life as a soldier and seeing death and devastation closely has made me realize that Pettiness, jealousy, and selfishness are a very integral part of our lives.

Pettiness abounds in people as people tend to disagree and fight over trivial and inconsequential issues. For example, a lot of people cannot get along with their neighbors, they get irritated because of the noises coming out of people’s houses or because one person trying to be friendly may be thought as nosy and is avoided just because of a trivial feeling. Similarly one can see people arguing over parking spaces and even end up getting into brawls over meaningless things which at that time seem important to them. As Adlai Stevenson has said: You can tell the size of a man by the size of the thing that makes him mad.”(Josephson you institute of ethics)
