Why is that guy on the sidewalk still bleeding? Why is the sky full of smoke? Why is my house falling apart? Why are there rats in the government? Why is everybody so sad? Why are my balls full of plastic? Why did that bridge fall down? Why are there so many catalytic converter thieves living in the sewer? Why is health insurance? Why is that kid so violent? Why are all the bugs extinct?

Neglect.

Here are 10 antidotes to it (photographed on very, very, very dry and flammable grass):

I have to admit.
I have to notice.
I have to keep up.
I have to soothe.
I have to cheer.
I have to imagine.
I have to step up.
I have to belong.
I have to pay attention.
I have to take it seriously.
