The Solution Revolution!
Life is full of problems. Anyone who disagrees must be lying. The mother of invention may be inspiration, but isn’t that inspiration always a problem? Small talk… almost always starts off with a common problem. Come to think of it, problems are the root of human nature. Animals only have two problems… survival and procreation. What makes television shows interesting? Conflict (a synonym of problem). Comedians? Usually people with funny problems. Problem solving is a prized skill in any profession and culture. We elect officials who can fix the problems of the people. People who solve a problem in a business get promoted. In ancient cultures people who fixed problems were worshiped. Even religion… an evil or opposing force is trying to enslave or manipulate the people, so a good force comes along to help the people asking only for devotion and trust. Instead of complaining about problems, we should all embrace them as what makes us who we are. Find answers and learn… it’s what we have problems for in the first place!

“People who solve a problem in a business get promoted.”
Dilbert would beg to differ.

Dilbert is a special case… he lives in an infinite paradox of dry wit and disappointment. When the two are mixed in a stressful environment they halt all emotion, preventing the problem-answer phenomena from occurring.
