Conundrums and Impasses Of Life.

Conundrum is a nasty sounding word defined as a problem with no solution. An impasse is defined as a difficult situation with no real exit. If we are talking about vying with nature to develop perpetual motion, we truly have a conundrum and we have reached an impasse. Otherwise, neither of these words fit any of life’s social situations.
Recently, I cataloged, in my mind, many of the problems that I think our nation and people I know face. I saw no problems that I could not work out in my own thinking. Life, and all that life is about, is not always easy. However, there is usually a way past any obstruction.
I happen to believe that happiness is a matter of the mind. I also believe that solutions to many of life’s problems are matters of the mind too. If each of us could fall on our face, at the same time, and climb up together, we might acquire a common perspective about a world where people and their egos are exceedingly significant.
I honestly believe that problems are more like opportunities for us to display our tolerance and our intelligence. Consequently, again in my thinking, opportunities abound; but real conundrums and real impasses are few and far between.
