Problems can be tricky. They are sometimes conflicts. They are sometimes puzzles. They are sometimes irritants that cause us to lose our center and think about getting even.
Getting even is never the answer.
Problems, approached from the view of how to achieve a goal, can be solved without creating harm. If there is harm in the solution, the problem isn't solved, it's just shifted to someone else. Centered problem solvers can do better.
The problem is not solved if there's no peace in the solution.
Why not solve the problem without planting the seeds of future conflict? Why not reach mutually beneficial solutions?
It's not just the high ground, it's the only ground that's truly grounded.
What do you think?
