I look at it as an exorcise in the strength of the mind OR probably more correctly an exorcise in acknowledging how weak your mind will let you get if you allow it. In normal speak, the level to which we allow ourselves to "big-deal" our piss ant problems is amazing. It's almost like we require or desire a certain level of stress or emotional pain in our lives, so we'll adapt or adjust the perceived severity of our current problems until that level is achieved. The trick.... don't crave the pain:) Make sense?
