That makes a lot of sense. I have enough trouble solving my (relatively minor) problems; but I’m not worrying about where I’m sleeping tonight. I can’t imagine trying to solve a really big problem while simultaneously worrying every single day about what I will use as a bed. Or rather, I can imagine it, and just imagining it is frightening enough.
