Problem is the gap between
reality and the ideal.
Remove ideals,
submerge fully on what is;
problems become
impossible.
And do not take this as an ideal too, or you’ll get another terrible headache! :D

In truth, one only finds truth by attuning to the silence that resonates in the gaps. Ultimately, one knows all.

Truthful words:
..’:submerge fully on what is;..’
Thanks for sharing.
God bless.

It ends what I guess I’d think of as unnecessary problems – problems as they exist as an aspect of the mind. And the freer you are from that sort of problem the more you can direct attention to actual difficulties you may need to address.

@ Liara: Silence between the gap? I prefer making the gap impossible :p
@ Surjit: Hi, Surjithi… thanks for your appreciation :)
@ Paul: Problems are interpretation of the mind, indeed! Difficulties might really need to address… but they’re not necessarily problems. They can be, let’s say, some fun puzzle game :D

Very nice….and so true. There’s no such thing as a problem, there are only events; problems are created through interpretation of events! ;-)

Rizal,
Within each problem is a solution. When we open our inner eyes, we see all of the possibilities.

@ Doug: Hi Doug, welcome back! :)
@ Alexys: When there is no idea, there is no problem possible–there is no need for solution. Just Being :)

Real good one, Rizal. The challenge is that on one hand it is the a problem, on the other hand it is also the fuel of human race. It is the race towards ideal and the gap to it, that keeps human race fueled and inspired. They get up every day morning to bridge this gap, which gives them their purpose in life. Without this thing to pursue, they will be lost and depressed.

Having a bizarre rare disease that limits your mobility in extreme ways and makes even eating and using the toilet activites that require immense concentration to be done successfully turns these activities into problems that are not fun.
But it’s also possible not to complain about having things be that way and have them cease to be problems in that sense.
-- Paul Maurice Martin, September 7, 2010
@ Myochi: Hi Myochi, it’s been a while :) without ideals to pursue, humans will be content and blissful with everything. It is having something to pursue that created depression in the first place. There is nothing to bridge.
@ Paul: Nice point, Paul :) yes such kind of disease (or in my case, certain impairment) makes it much harder to perform even simplest activities. But it does not necessarily be a problem. Complain can only come when one holds the idea about how things should be, instead of living life as is :)

Rizal, merge with the gaps and they no longer exist. In silence, revelations unfold. Nothing is impossible.
