I think of myself as someone
Who solves problems as they come
In to the issue at hand I immerse
Myself headlong, before things get worse
I want to find a workable solution
Using my knowledge, skills and intuition..
**
I used to think of all problems as simply
Challenges to be faced undauntedly
I thought problems would have solutions perfect
That could be found if one took the effort to inspect
All facets of a problem, like a mathematical equation
The solution would fit in neatly in its place of designation
**
I truly wonder how I held on to this warped view
For as long as I did, since it is definitely not true
That problems in life come with solutions tidy
Real world problems are multidimensional and messy
Entangled in a web of human emotions complicated
With variables whose values cannot be calculated
Reasoning sometimes does not work at all
As you get bombarded with multiple curveballs
**
To my scientific mind the realization that there might not be
Solutions to some problems caused consternation initially
Just existing in a crisis without being proactive
Guided by faith alone seemed rather primitive
When faced with such problems difficult to solve
At first I fought hard, it was my resolve
To do everything I could in my power to get through
I had no patience, my futile efforts worsened the situation too
Until I learnt that sometimes the best course of action
Is to wait for the storm to pass, in judicious inaction
Without exhausting emotional energy or resources
Simply believe in a higher power and submit to the forces..
**
Maybe the perfect solution does not exist in the imagined way
But eventually out of darkness emerges a new day
Passion...unbridled
