Quagmire of the Incidental

I was glad to hear, laughed to myself when I heard, that Paris Hilton was going back to the clink to serve her out her entire 45 days. I thought it was funny that she was crying for her momma. Then I saw all the news coverage on the ordeal and it hit me.

I should not celebrate this. This entire ordeal is a mess and is a distraction to the real problems of our world. I am being sucked into the quagmire of the incidental. Even if justice is served, we should not celebrate the pain and suffering of others. This is what we care about? How many people were more interested in the Paris Hilton jail time than CNN’s presidential forum on faith last night?
