So near yet so far

Why do we struggle to implement simple solutions for a wide range of problems? I think this has always been our problem. The simple ability to understand.

Maybe it has something to with mindset clashing, for example we can't expect people who have great labourer abilities to problem solve at the extent of an entrepreneur. Would like to see your views.

Because we are conditioned humans that enjoy melodrama in our lives and because it makes us feel more alive to that conditioned identity.

Because it is not what we think, but how we think.

Re: So near yet so far

There is a thought that says you can't solve a problem with the same mindset that caused the problem.

I think as you indicate it largely is because we can't identify the problem...

The ole 10 guys reaching thru holes describing an elephant...

All that being said...

I really think it is simple.

If we were to realize we are all one...this earth...each other...and we could see the future problems we create..we'd quit harming ourcellves

I think it is because we like to play ostriches, it is more pleasant if you bury your head in the sand and shout "everything's fine down here" then you don't feel responsible and people don't like to feel responsible for their bad or stupid deeds.
