Problems, obstacles, mishaps, difficulties or whatever you name them.

They are around us all the time.

Making us feel nervous, stressed and frustrated.

If the problems were living souls, they would certainly be the most disliked of all.

They would have been unwanted, undesired and unwelcomed.

No one, literally no one would be interested in having them.

But, if there were no problems. We would probably have been living in Caves today.

How could you have read this article in the darkness of living space between rocks?

Why do we hate problems?

Isn't it obvious?

We hate them because they slow us down. They make us do more. They trigger all the unwanted emotions.

Oh, why the hell did my car decide to stop?

Oh, I feel sick.

Oh, I lost my job.

Oh, I failed.

oh, oh, and oh

Why do they slow us down?

Because they interrupt.
