The Nature of Problems - Part 3

Another fundamental of problems that should be kept in mind: No one has to solve a problem. We always have a choice when confronted with a problem—we can try to solve it, which is the making of a problem; or we can put up with the present situation —in which case, there will be no problem. Frequently, we do put up with problem situations simply because solving them would cost more in time, energy, and expense than the solution could possibly be worth. This brings us to still another fundamental: A situation should not be a problem unless its solution will have importance far greater than doing nothing.

Many people fritter away their energies and mental resources on things that simply do not merit the expenditure of serious thinking. Like deciding what suit or dress they will wear for a particular occasion. Or which restaurant they will go to for lunch. Or whether they will see a movie on Tuesday night or Wednes­day night this week. Or whether the car should be cleaned on Saturday or Sunday. These are not problems at all. Such situations call for routine decisions and they deserve no more mental atten­tion than any other routine decision like brushing your teeth, or whether to take off your right or left shoe first!
