"Stop exaggerating your discomforts; when you see clearly, your tiger shrinks to a dog, and misery loses its grip."
According to Osho, misery persists because the ego magnifies ordinary discomforts into dramatic fictions. Stop exaggerating; look again, factually and proportionately. You can leave a fiction, never; you can only handle facts. Drop the need to be extraordinary—even in suffering—and your "tiger" shrinks to a dog. With clear seeing, the burden lightens, practical responses appear, and misery loses its grip.
See things as they really are, not as a scary story your ego tells; then the problem gets smaller and easier to handle.
