Problems of Society

The Problem is “today's problem”. Problem is defined by some to be a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful, needing to be dealt with, and to be overcome. To others it can be defined as an inquiry starting from given conditions to investigate or demonstrate a fact, result, or law. However, those who are unbound by the restrictions of a quick and easy internet search might define a problem as something of a barrier, a burden, or perhaps a guardian. A guardian? How peculiar. A guardian of what? Perhaps answers, or solutions, or maybe clarifications, perhaps even something that is not a synonym. A problem is a guardian of a good situation, and solutions are not what are guarded by problems, but the key to unlocking them. The goal of solving a problem is to no longer be plagued by that problem. However, due to the goal of this piece of writing, everything I have recently remarked has been of no consequence. No, No, No. We are here to discuss THE “Problem” and that is a different topic entirely. 

The “problem” is uninteresting. Things like the collapsing of society, a plunging economy, as well the three concept lists in my writing becoming trite.  The “problem” is exactly what you would not expect of a problem. You would think that in the middle of the crazed hysteria, that is the modern lifestyle, there would be a lot of problems. When you think of a pandemic you would expect madness to ensue such as riots in the street, people robbing stores, littering, etc. However, this is not just a pandemic, this is the “problem”. Yet when you look outside, there are no crimes being committed or even faint societal rules being undone (besides the inevitable evasion of fellow civilized folk ). The reason there aren’t such absurdities is because of the faint trace of a solution, perhaps a solution such as riding it out, and people sense this is due to the ill-conformity of their mindsets towards an enduring problem. Essentially, they seek even the idea or hint of possibility of THE END. However, the people are too shortsighted to realize the clear errors in their solution, errors that are too manifold for someone as irascible as myself to mention and construe. 

Of course, there is the other side of the spectrum. People are, and according to the imminent and foreseeable future, too caught up in pulling apart other people’s truths to fact check their own lies. These nescient people of bountiful naiveness decided to go out in the streets and protest the idea of there being a “problem”. For these people, they have made the decision to not follow the built up safety net rules, and flaunt their belief of disbelief around in the medium of protests. Protesting is a perfectly fine way to get your idea across under normal circumstances. Alas, there should be no one protesting as of the current situation, aka the “problem”, and because they are contributing to the complete opposite of preventing the spread of adverse solutions.

However, these people have a reason. A reason, it's always something. Of course their reason is completely and totally devalued due to the “problem”. These people wish to work, go to barber shops, and do whatever other social activities are disabled due to the “problem”. While I do realize that everyone going to their places of business and resuming the “pre-the-problem” lifestyle would be a very blithe occasion. The “problem” is solitarily pushing the date of The End farther away than we had intended, predicted, and silently hoped. 

Now you see the abhorrent truth that we are probably not at all the slightest bit engrossed in the “problem”, but seem to be more infatuated in the applications towards our own charitable narcissism. Of course, me saying that puts up the illusion that I am some sort of sophomaniac (although the language I have been using may have already made you perceive me that way).

Now in truth I have accomplished my fortuitous goal of educating you on the “problem”. Nonetheless, considering the fact that you are living in the here and the now, assuming you are not a has-been, retro enthusiast, or deceased, you already know about these things as a result of being alive. Every person with a pulse has found a recent interest in advertising the “problem” to just about every living creature with some sort of listening apparatus. In conclusion, everything I have just written has been a restatement of commonplace facts.
