What strikes your mind when you hear the word tumor really?
Growth, cell multiplication, cancer!, progressive, rapid (forgive my embarrassingly dull and incompetent medical diction, those were just off the top of my head). Granted, it could be friendly, pre-malignant, or malignant; but face it, the word itself has some kind of chill to it.
A problem is like a tumor in a way; it could be minor and trivial, above-average but still bearable, or it could be acute. However we often forget its other possible identities; inconspicuous, progressive, and tendency to become cancerous.
Sometimes, even a "small problem" can go terribly wrong and uncontrolled in the end. Why?
First of all it starts with our handicap of not being able to distinguish the weight of the problem at hand, thinking that this "small problem" is petty, when it is actually code red.
One of the following might then occur.
1. Not aware of how serious the issue is, we put it at the back of our heads somewhere or place it in the lastest ranking in our "to-do" list, which we never attend to anyway (because more problems show up), unconsciously giving ourselves a rabid cycle.
2. We withdraw ourselves from the problem, just too plain scared to face or even think about it.
3. We rely entirely on optimism; regarding optimism itself is the main course or "the effort" to solve the problem, often forgetting that it is actually a supplement.
Unless we were born lucky, the plot would predictably thicken ; the situation worsens and gets more and more out of hand.
It all stems from how we deal with the problem at first. The three scenarios above are all too common in our culture, habitual even; which if i might add is ubiquitous in all of Rashid Sibir's dramas. Tear-jerking, but emitting no real impact on this sad custom.
Resolution.
If you've watched "We were the Mulvaneys", you would've probably come up with this post too.

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them.
