Importance-Unimportance

No human thing is of serious importance. (Plato)

It is completely unimportant. That is why it is so interesting. (Agatha Christie)We do not succeed in changing things according to our desire, but gradually our desire changes. The situation that we hoped to change because it was intolerable becomes unimportant. We have not managed to surmount the obstacle, as we were resolutely determined to do, but life has taken us round it, led us past it, and then if we turn round to gaze at the remote past, we can barely catch sight of it, so imperceptible has it become. (Proust)

Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest. (Georgia O'Keeffe)
