    Quite true.
    But then again some problems will turn on you and bite you if you do not solve them right.
    As an example: "The problem of finding the recommended kind of oil for the lawn mower" can become "the problem of being hit by lawn mower scrapnel" of you use vegetable oil instead.

    Hmm. I would not have thought of replacing lawn mower oil with vegetable oil! Thank you for your reply JakobA and Happy Sunday! :)

    From the one of the Three Holy Books:

    "Problems that go away by themselves usually come back by themselves"

    I have not found that to be true. I have experienced the exact opposite of that. Different folks. Different Strokes. Mahalo for your reply OS. Do you problems keep recycling throughout your life? Condolences. Happy Sunday! :)

  • Ignore it and it'll go away. Nah, can't buy into that. I like the idea of not worrying or fretting while addressing the problem. Worry gets in the way of problem solving

    Worry is the interest you pay on trouble. So it is said. Thank you for your reply dw.
