Acknowledge that there is a problem

Right from the day one of our existence we start facing problems. And i assume that each and every problem has a solution or at least some clue of the same. We love to give a try to puzzles, in quest of satisfaction we get after solving it. But there are bigger problems in our life which we don't want to even acknowledge. By acknowledging here i mean sincere acknowledgement; as part of solution lies in accepting that there is a problem. These problems could be as big and sensitive as terrorism and climate crisis or as trivial as problems in our day to day life. Well, no matter how big the monster is, but first step is to identify the monster. I may be exaggerating by comparing our so called tiny day to day problems with a real monsters. But the bottom line is that problem is a problem, we can use any adjective to describe it.

Our tiny problems affect us and people around us, so it might not sound very critical but on individual level i fill these problems affect as adversely as real monsters. These problems are personal and subject to our own introspection. Pragmatically i can't do much to solve problems like terrorism, so for me real problems are my own problems, no matter how tiny and unimportant it may sound to others. And what makes it really big is that there is no any other governing body like UN or any superpower country whose acknowledgement is a stepping stone to curb or solve it. There is no elected government or body whom we can blame for our problems.

What really compounds the problem is that we don't even sincerely introspect. So are we right in blaming some one else for terrorism? Well the good news is that now world is realizing that terrorism and climate crisis are grave threat to our existence. It has taken more than a decade to acknowledge terrorism and uncountable decades to accept climate crisis. So the obvious question is, do we really have so much time to solve our personal problems? Well the answer is undeniably, NO. Acknowledge the problem so that you can enjoy the fruits of the same in your life time. Happy introspection :)
