You know what irritates me irrationally today, the saying "miss the forest for the trees" (lemmy.ml)

Everyone is missing out on the good shit in life focusing only on the forest but not the fine details, the forest only exists because of millions of small beautiful details.

I don't know if it's because I'm on the spectrum but I hope it isn't, I wish everyone could experience the same joy I get from all the small things.

I find this true of most colloquialisms, people don't really know what they mean, but they've heard it before and recognize it as a thing you can say.
