Against nothing. A waste of time is constantly happening all around you. You can see it but you are not intelligent enough to wonder what it might mean. You do not have to try not to worry because the thought has never once passed through your mind. And why would it? The power to ignore is passed down to you by the powers who ignore, whom you ignore.
Ignorant is not you, until you notice what you are and that it is you. Dismiss this again, and again, and be sure to be certain that all of the promises that are made are kept. You notice that it is you.
Pull the final curtain over your eyes. The light that comes from under it comes from images projected onto the walls of it. They are bright and they show the unkempt promises. Relief from the darkness of one truth is followed by the pain filled realisation of the other truth, the actual truth, that is not the made up truth that you were promised back when you listened, barely, to promises.
Your new cold coat fits but comfort comes with honest hard work and probably blood.
