"The Moon moves on an orbit which is not circular but elliptical, with the Earth at one focus. At one end of this ellipse it makes its closest approach to the Earth (356 410 km or 221 473 miles), known as perigee. At the other end it reaches its greatest separation (406 697 km or 252 722 miles), called apogee. The period between successive perigees or apogees is called the anomalistic month, equal to 27.56 days."
"The Moon's orbit around the Earth is elliptical, with a substantial eccentricity (as major Solar System bodies go) of 5.49%. In addition, the tidal effect of the Sun's gravitational field increases the eccentricity when the orbit's major axis is aligned with the Sun-Earth vector or, in other words, the Moon is full or new.
The combined effects of orbital eccentricity and the Sun's tides result in a substantial difference in the apparent size and brightness of the Moon at perigee and apogee. Extreme values for perigee and apogee distance occur when perigee or apogee passage occurs close to new or full Moon, and long-term extremes are in the months near to Earth's perihelion passage (closest approach to the Sun, when the Sun's tidal effects are strongest) in the first few days of January."

I see your point. This world is too big not to share and have fun. There are so many things to do and see. We should all be able to get along. Can you imagine if this was one big party? We have a great time. I volunteer to be on the grill. Shrimp skewers anyone! LOL
