How can we match our reaction to the size of the problem?
First, we figure out the size of the problem. We then react in the way of the appropriate size of the problem. For example, size problem = small reaction.

He gets upset very quickly. His degree of upset does not match the seriousness of the problem. Usually thinks things are not fair.
