Problems

(Please dont pull your hair after reading this !!)

The universe of all problems is arbitrarily divided into being solvable or unsolvable. Unsolvable problems are actually simple as they do not burden the ego with the guilt of a defeat. The solvable problems, on the other hand, are again classified as being simple and difficult. But commonsense says that if a problem could be solved, it must not be difficult and hence simple.

But for most of the people, problems are always difficult. This is simply because they think that the problem is solvable. Thinking otherwise would not only make their life simpler but also make the problem vanish. But there are people who oppose this outlook towards problems and try to solve the “solvable difficult” problems. When they do not succeed, they realize that the problem was unsolvable and bawl over their wasted energies. If they succeed, they realize the problem was actually simple and then they again cry over their wasted energies because the problem was simple.

Inventing a bulb was simple for Adison but it is still unsolvable for a person like me. Though each problem proposes itself in a different way to each individual, the hardness of a problem should not depend on how an individual perceives it. It should be either simple or unsolvable.

We are not sure how many problems are unsolvable but the problems which could be solved are always simple. Because after being solved, they are simple and being independent of time, if they are simple at some point of time, then they should be simple at all points of time. All solvable problems are simple.

The dynamics of a problem are always simple but the equations of the solution might be unsolvable. Though the solution to a simple problem is also simple because had it been difficult, the problem would not have been simple in the first place. Then what is it that makes Adison invent a bulb and not me. It is the abilities of the individual that make the difference. The perception of an individual, his intelligence, his knowledge, his perseverance, his determination, his confidence, his competence all contribute to the solution of the solution. People who have the right ingredients almost always solve the problem because they see it as being simple and not unsolvable !!
