Sometimes when I read our print media or listen to remarks and commentaries on electronic media, the following thoughts and expressions flash through my mind:
- The banality of trivia
- The absurdity of pettiness
- The debility of assumed grandeur
- The inanity of affected class
- The profundity of shallowness
- The arrogance of ignorance
- The emptiness of arrogance
- The deceitfulness of self-ascribed innocence
- The shallowness of assumed depth
In many ways, the thoughts and their structural expressions borrow heavily from Barrack Obama ground breaking book – The audacity of Hope, but whereas the inspiring structure is made up of an association of two positives – Audacity and Hope, these expressions are not.
