When dealing with Problems, it’s tempting to lose a Sense of Proportion. Rhinos know; We are prone to helping Problems expand themselves. It seldom actually involves a bicycle pump, but a dose of concentrated Imagination can work wonders, transforming an Inconvenience into a fully-realized Trauma.
It takes effort to keep the Probem fully inflated and dire. We are energetic critters though, so it isn’t beyond our capacities. If We pump hard enough, the Problem can always get bigger. Our flair for the Dramatic can get confused with a flair for the Catastrophic. Maybe flair is over-rated.
On our sensible days, We concentrate on other things. The Problems that don’t disappear do shrink.
So that’s a relief. Where is a sensible day when you need one?

Poor Rhino! Maybe you could gash that horrible monster with your lovely horn.

The idea here is that monsters are mostly made and maintained by Us. What makes Us cling to our craziness is hard to figure, but We all have fears that We hold dear. No horn action is needed, just some clear thinking. And some willingness to wake up.
