What is a problem?
Says Wikipedia – “A problem is an obstacle which makes it difficult to achieve a desired goal, objective or purpose. It refers to a situation, condition, or issue that is yet unresolved. In a broad sense, a problem exists when an individual becomes aware of a significant difference between what actually is and what is desired.”
Trying to answer the fundamental question of Why problems one may relate it to religious beliefs of sins of Mankind or the opening of the Pandora’s Box that brought all problems to Earth. But how one could imagine a day without problems. Problems are driving forces of life. Without any problems to solve there is no substance or meaning that can run life through.
Applying some thought the problem of perception of a problem as a problem is because of two major reasons. As per Wikipedia’s definition an obstacle to a desired goal is a challenge without which there is no joy in reaching the goal. Problems are to be seen as challenges. Secondly pursuing a goal with misperceived objectives. Vaguely set goals are themselves problems.
Thank Pandora for opening the Box for it would have been difficult for us to kill time if not.
