Too Many Questions


Getting answers from nature is what I used to do. Nature threw back a question this morning. 

"Is a problem a problem?"

I was then bothered by a problem that seemed not to be a problem again.

"Do I have a problem? " I asked myself.

An old man like me simply gaga over too many trivial things, included chocolate ice cream while hiking in the jungle.

    I do see a problem (of course--grin!). Your question mark is not..it is a scroll at the top end of neck on the violin. That is so obvious to me.

    What a picture of problematic perfection! And your shoot as well....

    PEACE!

    This is a good question!
    I suppose the farther ones goes ( mentaly or even physicaly ) from a problem the less is feels like a problem anymore.
    It is a practice one learns in the end.

    Great shot of the young fern. It does indeed look like a question mark. I dont see any problem here, no no problem at all especially if related to chocolate ice cream. But while hiking in the jungle? Gosh, you have a big problem mister.. hehe.. Have fun hiking..

    A problem is not a problem.
    Not having the answer, that's a problem.
    I'm hoping you always have the chocolate ice cream for the zombies.
    And maybe a little for yourself.

    Another beautiful slice of nature!

    About problems.. I think having them is really good, they make you think a lot, thinking a lot makes your brain work a lot, and an active working brain makes you a lot intelligent than a dormant one. So the conclusion is:
    Problems create intelligent people! :D
