Too... heavy.. HELP!! |
Now, this is going to be rather short one as I'm writing this quite hurriedly, and maybe it's a good thing because elaboration is not always a good thing when it comes to abstraction - the formlessness of an idea or its subtle qualities being best left to the intellectual prowess or analytic curiosity of the reader to be interpreted as he or she sees fit. A sort of meeting between the clear monologue of prose and the ambiguity of poetry, as far as the communication of the intended meaning goes.
A problem is born - at our hands, can we also kill them then?
A problem is birthed inadvertently and can be killed by the one facing it. It is not an external entity but rather an internal one, the parameters of its definition or form, being solely based on the torment it can cause the individual in question. The 'situation' is real - the 'problem' is a manufactured construct that qualifies the situation according to the individual. Hence the same situation can be a problem, not a problem or not as much of a problem etc. for different individuals simultaneously. 'Solving' a problem merely makes it dormant for the time being, essentially curing or treating the symptoms and then ignoring and later forgetting the underlying disease.
What then is the 'death' of the problem? The death of the problem is simply destroying its formative structure or the building blocks of it, that exists in our minds as loss or suffering attached to it. The factors that go in to making a situation a problem being abstract concepts in our minds subject to its control, it is merely a matter of taking charge of them internally - at least theoretically.
Hence, when we kill a problem, we are simultaneously letting go of something, which in turn makes it harder for further problems to arise and also therefore, makes us stronger and more resilient to this ailment that is inherent in us by birth.
"Don't try to solve a problem. Instead just dissolve it." - J Krishnamurthy
