It's not a problem. There are people out there with much worse problems than mine."-Cynthia"Doesn't make yours any more fun to bear."-Liza"No. But it does help with the self-pity."- Cynthia

There is a sky full of stars aplenty, and all you can babble about is a cold, little rock we call the moon. This is how it is with petty problems that exist too close to us.

It is a great mystery to me how the problems of others seem like simple arithmetic while my own appear as complicated as a calculus equation.

Personal problems appear big because we press our nose to the glass to observe them. This only serves to magnify our troubles. The problems of others we tend to view at a reasonable distance from the window, making their woes and bothers appear ordinary. Too bad we don't naturally take a few steps back before considering our own plight.

Problems are never as difficult as when they are your own.

I prefer to solve the world's problems. They never seem as complicated as my own.

If you do not like a certain behavior in others, look within yourself to find the roots of what discomforts you.
