The Greater scope of things.

We all seem to have a very weird escape mechanism when it comes to dealing with problems. Most people will never try and face any battle head-on if they can run away from it. We all keep thinking that one way to reduce the size of problems is to look at the problem in the "greater scope of things". This apparent inclination to slide problems to the side, saying they wont affect your life as a whole is nothing but a very subconscious escape mechanism.

We all decide that the problem isn't big enough to bother us later on, and it turns out most times we might be wrong. Everything that happens in our lives somehow or the other affects our life. Fine ill grant you one thing, they might not be monumental when we look at the "bigger picture", but then again, if we did have the ability to face each problem head-on then we would never really need to look at the bigger picture.

So what if the problem is a small thing?(small is a relative term). Each issue that remains unresolved will someday or other pop-up at the opportune moment. If we all had the higher thinking to look at each problem as a lesson to be learned we would all be much better off.

Shelving every small issue will finally make the shelf full till it breaks from the load, at that moment what you're looking at is the a bad mess of dusty and old problems which have now grown. Each issue in life teaches us how to handle the next problem that comes along. Its a sort of weird incremental terminology, how we all have to solve the smaller problems to be able to solve the bigger ones.

Ironically, if you look at the bigger picture, in the greater scope of things, all these lessons learned are valuable for our mental growth and strength. All I'm saying is, putting a small problem, seemingly insignificant in the "greater scope of things", is more harmful than beneficial in the exact same bigger picture of life.



P.S.> I hate mosquitoes, they bite and they itch. Two things I don't like. If I was granted one wish I would wish for their species to end. A horrific, itchy death to each mosquito who ever bit another living thing.

P.S.S.> Sorry for the random Post Script, but those little buggers are irritating.
