“Do not allow the little things of today to disturb you.”

______________________________________________________________________________________
When an issue upsets you, try to remember how small and insignificant that issue is in comparison to what other people are going through all over the world. Some people have no food, no water, no shelter, no health…is your problem really that important?
Why do we give so much time and attention to the little things?
Why are the causes of disagreement so often on the little things?
Perhaps we should count our blessings instead.

I have seen a psychology documentary that explains this (This Emotional Life (c) 2010). It said humans are good at adapting to situations they cannot change. The little things tend to be things humans can do something about. The frustration comes from the tension between the hope of a better situation and the ineffectiveness of the person to solve the problem promptly.
