Sometimes we look for trouble,
sometimes trouble look for us.
We mostly avoid problems,
but some of us
simply fall in love
with our problems.
We lament over
our problems.
But having a problem
or not,
is often
a conscious choice.
Some of us indulge
in self-pity,
feeling sorry
for ourselves.
Preferring to grovel
in the mud
of our problems
rather than
standing up
and enjoying
the sight
of the world
above
our mud.
But self-pity
is a real
human condition too.
But at some point,
we all have to
pick ourselves up.
And detach ourselves
from the mud
that bogs
us down.
Because
when we adjust
our perception,
elephants
can be viewed as
mosquitoes,
just as we often
allow mosquitoes
to become
elephants.
