Question of purpose

Fences that don't keep things in or out; I don't get them. Paths that are walked on by many in summer that don't get shoveled yet big swaths are cut through the woods and groomed for the skiers; I don't get that. Fussing over matters that in the grand scheme* of things do.not.mean.jack.diddley.squat; I get that least of all.

*life changing for all humanity or the things you will think back to right before you exhale your last breath.
