庸人自扰

Have you ever heard of this Chinese phrase / idiom (not sure which one this falls in)? 庸人自扰

Well, pretty much my whole life I have been aware that my problems are never as big as somebody else, and even when I am upset, my life will never be as bad as somebody else. And so, I have always subscribed to the theory of the point that, frankly, I have no right to complain. Suck it in and move on.

BUT!!!! Sometimes, it's not possible to be a smart person, sometimes, I just want to be a 庸人, and one that 自扰... I am just a normal peasant.. and I will never be free from the syndrome of 庸人自扰...

Sigh.. life really sucks...
