Can you solve problems without adding any pain?
Some people take a tough approach to problem solving. They focus on driving solutions whether or not there are side effects. The problem with that is that the side effects often turn out to be worse than the original problem.
Any added pain creates a future problem. The old problem might even resurrect itself, only redoubled in its persistence.
We can solve problems without adding pain.
Why not do that? As centered problem solvers, the only viable solutions are those that do no harm.
