Every solution eventually becomes a problem
E254: After watching The Odyssey
The conundrum that lingers long after the closing credits
I cannot get this thought out of my head after the conversation between a disguised Odysseus and Penelope in Christopher Nolan’s version of The Odyssey. No spoilers (to a 3,000 year old classic!) but I fully recommend seeing in on IMAX if you can.
Every solution eventually creates a new problem
This can either be a one line essay.
Or a rambling philosophical debate.

'Every solution eventually becomes a problem' - I am surprised at the negative sentiment of the phrase. I see what you mean you happily growing in your mother’s womb when it gets a bit tight in there and you are expelled in a traumatic event. You settle, enjoy lying on your back and then you see something attractive across the room and learn to crawl to it only to learn its hot and you shouldn’t had done that and so on and so on. Is it not just life beginning to end, birth to death growing along the way through life changing lessons. I prefer to think of it as ‘every setback is an opportunity for learning and growing’. Is it ‘every solution has a sting in the tail’ or ‘every cloud has a silver lining’? Is your glass half full today?
