I saw a bumper sticker that said, "This shit would be funny if it were happening to somebody else."
If you pretend that your life matters, that you are important, that you are anything more than a slightly evolved ape clinging to a rock circling a soon-to-go-nova yellow star in an unfashionable arm of the galaxy, then yes, every bump is a catastrophe, every loss is a tragedy.
Once you realize that we are comic relief, that all the little piddly problems we like to imagine are crises are in fact no different that the dilemmas of Gilligan and the Skipper, everything become much more manageable.
