the multiple layers this one sentence has brought to history
as well as its total impact and effect on those
of us who think and communicate building or making mountains
out of a molehill the real picture. Molehills are a
mound of dirt, just an eaty, beatty thing of dirt
created by mammals known as the mole. The mountain represents
something that is massive in size. The phrase dates back
to classical antiquity. The Roman poet Virgil used similar ideas
inside the writing. By the fifteen hundreds, an old English
version of making mountains out of a molehill came into being.
It was popularized by Nicholas Oodahl in fifteen forty eight.
The reason why it's endured the year is because it's
a visual It's simple and universally relatable. It encourages perspective
and emotional regulations. Now some people see it as a
way to calm down a situation. Culturally speaking, making a
mountain out of a molehill acts as a social check
