Ah yes but it’s easier to scapegoat ‘my’ lack of priorities onto that ‘messiah’ identity and then fight ‘him’ instead 
That way ‘I’ can continue being a fraud and of course the accountability is shifted just ‘over there’.
What you wrote rings very true, I am not sure how these priorities will shift just yet but I can see that unless they do I am stuck “rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic”.
