"When you stop inflating trivial issues into great struggles, you disarm the ego and uncover a simple, unburdened presence where nothing needs fixing."
According to Osho, making mountains out of molehills is the ego’s strategy to feel important: it inflates trivial or imaginary issues into great struggles so it can soar through challenge. In truth, even the molehills are self-created; problems are largely bogus. By watching this mechanism and refusing to manufacture problems, you disarm the ego, end unnecessary misery, and discover a simple, unburdened presence where nothing needs fixing.
Your mind makes small things big to feel special; notice it and stop making them, and life gets lighter.
