If you are not a part of the solution, you are part of the problem - Group Discussion

There are numerous problems we face daily. Whether it’s our personal or professional lives, problems can rarely leave us. The question is, how well can we solution these problems? On several occasions we land up believing that some problems don’t have a solution. This is only because “we” can’t solve them.

For:

- Let’s consider a daily life example- Pollution. We rarely do anything to eradicate pollution of any form.

- Another example can be poverty. How many times do we entertain a beggar on the street? We are not doing anything to eradicate poverty and that makes us a part of this problem.

- If we get influenced with a problem, that certainly doesn’t make us a part of the solution.

- By getting influenced, our confidence hinders and we lose our ability to think rationally. That makes us a part of the problem although, indirectly.

Against:

- There are some problems that are beyond our control. We can’t do anything to solve them. E.g. recession.

- Because of recession, there are more problems. Hike in fuel prices, inflation etc. Again, we can’t sit at home to avoid these problems.

- Mostly, we see something as a problem because of our perspective. Something which may seem wrong to somebody which becomes a problem may seem right to someone else.

- Most of us have an extremely stressful life. To earn a living we have to struggle. This doesn’t give us much time to become a part of a solution.

Being a part of the solution simply means supporting a cause. We can do this by changing our attitude. Trying to be a little optimistic might help. If we approach a problem thinking we can’t solution it, we may never be able to solution it. When there are problems beyond our control, we should at least not try and add to them if not solution.
