People can have pet peeves.
That implies there are or were wild peeves. And that makes me wonder.
- What was the natural range of the wild peeve?
- When was the peeve domesticated?
- Why was the peeve domesticated?
- Of what use are they, really?
- How did they help further society, like the horse?
Someday I may investigate this further. Any interesting findings could be published in a book with a title such as On the Domestication of the Peeve.
You will laugh at violence and famine, And you will not be afraid of wild beasts.
Job 5:22

I’d like to present to you today an example of success:
Colin Kaepernick
The critics might disagree, saying that he’s a washed-up quarterback who can’t play in the NFL anymore. But if your definition of success is “currently playing in the NFL”, then over 99.9% of the people in the USA are unsuccessful.
Other critics might contend that he has brought division and conflict to our country with his antics during the national anthem. That might not look like success to you, but your goals are not his goals.
What are his goals? (I haven’t asked him directly, so I’m going off common knowledge and common sense here):
He wanted the country to be aware of (and discuss) the treatment of minorities. He accomplished that, so success.
Before that, as an NFL player he wanted to get his team to the Super Bowl. He accomplished that, so success. Rather, partial success, since he probably wanted to win the game.
Before that, as a college player, he probably wanted to make it to the NFL. Again, success.
I dare say he has accomplished more and been more successful before the age of 30 than many people are in the whole lives. You can say a lot of things about Colin Kaepernick, but unsuccessful should not be one of those things.
The Lord was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.
Genesis 39:2

This is Alpha, the first-born, when he was 2YO.
This is Beta, the second-born, when he was about 2YO.
This is Gamma, the third-born, when he was about 18MO.
