Complications

     To solve a problem, we must first understand the scope of the issue. If the problem is a puzzle it will take time to figure out the answer. Patience will be tested to come to a conclusion. If something is blocking, then a solution is needed to get through and overcome the issue. A type of force may be required to move the obstacle. Entanglement sticks us in limitations. It would be beneficial to use resources available to solve the problem quickly and return to harmony.

     A problem does not need to be solved all at one time. It can be easier to handle if it is broken down into components. Even the hardest problems can become easier as they are broken down and each block reduced. The process is just like water wearing down rock; it slowly breaks off particles and washes it away.

     While some problems may take some time to solve, others can be solved with instinct. A quote from TaoWoods.org by Lao Fzu says:

As you gain a deeper understanding of Tao, you will intuitively do what is correct for your circumstances. Like the sage, there will be no foreshadowing of an act, nor doubt about oneself.
     As one slowly comes to know Tao they become wiser (at least we all hope to). The wiser one is the better they can observe the situation and react. With this instant reaction, a person can spend less time out of Tao and quickly return.

And the wiser one becomes, the more we can work to solve the small dilemmas that tend to blow up into big ones. ; )
