Life Changing Experience with an elderly guy in the bus.
Once when I am on my way home in the bus, I should say that luckily I did not get a place to sit. I should say luckily because, it was such a good experience.
A bunch of fool hardy college going guys were discussing loudly on some issue which does not seem to arrive at a solution.
Suddenly an elderly guy who will be between 55-60 years of age was disturbed by these guys loud altercation. This elderly guy said something which changed me a little bit, like these earthquakes change the axis of the earth and speed up or slow down the rotation of earth's core for stability. Anyway sorry for being misleading you. This elderly guy said "For every problem there is a solution, but every solution cannot be implemented". Those bunch of guys stopped speaking loudly and started muttering so as to gain an impression of the fellow passengers of finding a solution at last. Any way we (that is the passengers in the bus expect those bunch) did not get a chance to hear their views on these or any kind of rendezvous with the elder guy regarding the issue, as these guys need to get down at the next stop. And as these guys got down and my stop nearing by, I thought of clarifying my doubt, which was lingering in my conscience from the moment he said that, which would not be cleared if this guy steps down. I took the reins of words that are going out of my mouth at the moment and disturbed him (as he was sleeping) by asking him the following question. "Sir, how to make ourselves be at bay of the solution in hand, rather than confronting the situation where these solutions cannot be implemented" - he said, "you know the solution, but you won't do it"
----------------------------------------------
My view -- its kind of a revelation for me.
Taking a look at the first part -- where
"There is a solution for every problem but all of them cannot be implemented"
1. Considering the age and the experience he holds with that age we can't simply put it aside, it has a profound meaning and your intuition is the best choice for analyzing rather than getting an explanation from others.
2. And again considering the age of the guy (he may have wasted time when he has the solution OR he had seen lot of these type of cases may be) we can say that if someone has a solution and the solution can be implemented, but he did not implement it for some or the other reason (there are lot of constraints involved - depends on experience) he will be landing himself into a same kind of situation in the future where there is a solution, (as every problem has a solution) but he could not implement it (if he had implemented it when he has time and the solution is implementable)
------------------------------------------
And now considering the second part --
"You Know It, But You Don't Do It"
By this statement I say that,
1. for all of us there was a time when we have regretted for doing some or the other thing in life -- thats life, thats OK.
2. And for some or the other reason, we know the solution and we wail away the time and procrastinate & start covering up for that at a time when the -- as the elderly guy said "solution cannot be implemented".
but for someone who is optimistic, if not whole, but a part of the solution can be implementable, by which someone who is a destitute of hope, can be put to life like using "Compromise" as a life support system, which will be removed after he gets back his life. And the main thing here that to be considered here is that he will start his new life, carrying his experiences forward. (here the new life and carrying experiences are contradictory but that's what we call a LIFE)
I think this is the mother of all statements in the Anatomy of "Conflict between a Problem and Solution"
(please pardon, as lot of my tenses have gone awry. There may be lot of mistakes, thanks for the patience for correcting for yourself. The main theme of this is analysis of the situation you confront, with your intuition)
Please correct if there are any mistakes. Thank You.
