Weeds and Wheat: On the necessity of conserving time and energy only for things that truly matter

Save your breath for things that matter. Work for the only thing that prevails in the end. Wasting time paying too much attention to the misdeeds, wrongdoings, obnoxiousness and stubbornness of others saps you of life. Use your limited time doing and being good. Let them waste theirs doing and being otherwise. Sure you may once in a while try to correct, help and guide them if doing so is warranted but just don't push too hard. Harvest time is yet to come. Make sure to be on the right side when it does. (cf. Matthew 13:24-43)
