If the human mind did not "solve" we would be just another vegetable, food for the sharks.

Solving problems and mysteries is what defines us (excluding tom of course).

  So then, what is the solution?

Solution to ?

And please none if this crap that there are no solutions.

No like our mind conceives a problem . Then we have a choice whether or not to solve it .

Troy asks:

  Are we different than the problem?

md says: idiots think otherwise

no but mchamster did mention the rock group in an early post.

As expected, troy didn't answer the questions that I posed.  Not surprising though.  His answers or rebuttals are opaque.  I wonder what it would be like to be around him after he had been drinking? 

In a nutshell tom, a problem for you means "worrying ". That is because you can never solve it correctly. Always ending up in contradictions. Even though your mind gets befuddled, your subconscious knows you are the fool, unable to think rationally. This is very typical of people with OCD. They recognize the problem on the conscious level, but the unconscious mind takes over and dictates a persons misguided obsessive behavior.

To most people a problem presents itself as a challange and is met head on. Trial and error and solutions are reached. This is too much for your brain to handle. Thus, you cop out and live in denial.

You recently posted a blog asking how to get better at chess. A few suggestions said 'study'. Your response was studying is not for you, a waste of your time. You wanted the magic pill, no work and all success.

A lazy mind, a lazy will, a self centered personality revolving around your insecurity as a person.

Dropped the hammer.

But of course it will be ignored. Next post (my crystal ball):

"I see what you're getting at troy, the meaning of the universe is natural. By not solving we live a life of love. I am happy" Thank you, I think I get it. Sincerely, tom

I think that it's very important to be mindful and stay in the moment . An example . I'm training at work and it's stressful . A fellow trainer hates me . Well at least one ! A trainee argues with me . Says things like I can't believe you are serious . It's really wearing . Traumatic too . It ran through my mind during the night .But you know I let it go and lived in the moment and now going into work I feel relaxed and ready to go with the flow . I think if you stay calm and relaxed sooner or later things will brighten . I do mean well and I am trying to help . That's our natural state . To be emphatic and caring .

Is it remotely possible tom that the fellow trainee had a valid observation of your obsessive, compulsive behavior?

Absolutely not says tom. I am a caring person, that's all that matters. Just because I'm a self centered SOB is no reason for him to tell me off.

Try addressing my criticism tom. I slammed you pretty hard. Respond with your gut. This baloney that I am just a mean person, you are the emphatic and caring picked on poor lost soul is pathetic. Don't runaway and hide, be a man (oops, problematic) and stand up for yourself.

"There is a fundamental law of nature which said that, left to it's own devices, things move in circles."

Has to do with your ideas (all contradictions) on the topic. Posters bring up points of view and differing observations. You squelch everyone one of them with your never ending self centered problems. Leave your problems behind if you're truly interested in the topic.

Read your 1st post stating you know little of the subject. Why fill the pages with what you 'think' you know?

Tom, md is like a realistic guru trying to set a novice on the path.  One good method is: No holds barred, take no prisoners!  If you can get past his assertiveness you may have some good quality reflecting time.  Good luck.
