In Buddhism, there is reference to "the imponderables" -- topics on which students are advised not to dwell because they are fruitless and detract from Buddhist practice.
But at a less august level, I think everyone has a laundry list of things that are indispensable in life ... things which, whether frivolous or serious, may seem quite serious indeed.
Two that occur to me this morning are:
Aloe
and
Duct tape.
I wouldn't spend too much time on those two. My "easily dismissed" drawer is filling up rapidly.
