I think there’s a misunderstanding in the use of the word. Petite, petty mean the same thing, “small, not having great significance.” So “petty officer,” is of small significance to an officer, “petty cash” is for small cost purchases, where an order of significance needs to be placed with approved suppliers through appropriate established vendors, “petty grudge/behavior” (aka microaggressions) while exhausting, take emotional energy better spent elsewhere, like focusing on self care and the task at hand, rather than feeding the beast that will simply and calmly DARVO us, causing lost income for survival, friends via abuse by proxy, etc.
The problem is Western institutions dumbing us down and emotionally ramping us up so that the hunger games odds are even more ever not in our favor.
Huh, i learned something new. I thought petty really was only ever used as in “petty squabbling” and that it had no other meaning outside of that. It makes sense with your explanation.
