Problems and solutions

There are two types of problems in this world:
1. Apparent
2. Latent

Apparent problems

These problems need to be resolved or you die.

Eg. Hunger, breathing: If you stop these activities you would die. So even if the food does not suit your gustatory sensations you will have to eat. Even if the pollution laden air harms your lungs you need to breathe. So it’s not always a matter of choice. Solving an apparent problem is thus a compulsion not an option.

Latent problems

These problems if left unresolved would not kill you.

Eg. Love life: Human beings have the inherent need to love and be loved. But a person would not die if their love life is non-existent. And since it’s not a life threatening situation they might choose to remain single and thus wrongly earning the distinction of being a commitment-phobic person. But since it’s not a matter of compulsion people should not run into the arms of people based on availability. Rather they should wait till the right one comes along.

A problem remains difficult only until you stumble upon the solution...

A person remains commitment phobic only until he/she comes across the right one...
