Misplaced priorities

Been using the phrase 'misplaced priorities' various times in the recent months.

When there's drama anywhere and people tend to focus on the unimportant details....misplaced priorities.

When there's poverty and improvements urgently needed (education, infrastructure, global warming, pollution, crime, etc) and we send an astronut to the space. Millions spent and err what is he doing now for the people? I am not blaming him....i am just not seeing the need for that at the moment. How much was spent..i mean, actually spent?

Last night on StarNewsAsia, they showed the street protests in Indonesia....protesting some traditional dance...apparently, Malaysia is claiming it as our own? And what comes to mind is.....and what? Is this a life threatening situation for anyone now? Wasn't there flood over there recently? And aren't we expecting the haze to be blowing over here soon?

Misplaced priorities.....

I am not saying i have the answer on how to 'save the world'.....far from that. But surely there's bigger issues to deal with now?
