'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?

Very interesting! I had purposely left the line from the script and any reference to the movie obtuse because so many people still have not seen it.

I look at the line as the cyclical nature of life.

And also a warning that we should not be sitting back when we "solve" anything. The new solution will inevitably start a new cycle and it will become its own problem.

I'll DM you to continue this conversation!
