Unimportant

Unimportance. Have you ever thought about that word? I know, it sounds like a ridiculous question; but, think about it. Why would you think about the word "unimportance." It seems, well you know . . . unimportant. There are too many important things going on in our lives to dwell on the unimportant.

But think about it for a moment. It either means something never had importance, or importance has been removed. Either way, unimportace is the absence importance.

Unimportance demands nothing of us. It brings no sense of urgency. It requires no thought. It exists successfully without calling any attention to itself. You don't even know it's there.

Unimportance is so unimportant that it doesn't even think about itself. It thinks only of others. Unimportance places significance elsewhere. It never takes itself too seriously.

Infact, unimportance has alot to be admired. If more things in this world were unimportant, more things would be considered important. Now that sounds a little on the crazy side, but humor me for a second. Unimportance places significance elsewhere making other things more important than itself. By releasing its own significance it raises the value of the surrounding world.

Oh, that we could become more unimportant.
