Cheap Shiny Things

Just for a moment I was annoyed to be told I had not appreciated the true beauty of the situation, I had been distracted by the banal. And for a moment I wanted to retort, no it was you who was disrespectful, you who could not keep your eyes off the cheap shiny things (cst) but i stopped myself as arguing is pointless, I don't win. And later I did not care, it did not matter.
