Like hearing thunder

Like hearing the thunder of a duck

It is a Zen expression that describes a state in which one cannot bear anything. Its usage can be seen in several Zen Buddhist sayings, and it does not necessarily have a positive meaning, but I chose it because I wanted to be a little more bold (?) and not get caught up in small things.
