A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation. By Moliere

Telling your problems to a wise person will result in a solution that you might have not been able to think of, because you are too concerned with your own problems (which, in the scheme of things, are small).
