Problems and solutions

When I was a little kid, like five years old and I really wanted to do something but failed. I started to cry. Like probably most kids would do. Every time that happened my dad asked me why I'm crying. I would explain him what I tried to do. Then he asked me how crying was helping to solve my problem. I had to answer that it didn't. He then always lectured me on how crying or getting angry was never a solution to solve the problem.

Even now when I have a problem or one of my friends have one I don't cry with them or hold their hands. I hug them and already start thinking of a solution to solve the problem.

Now you're asking yourselves why you should care.

Well many people think just like my dad does and teach their kids to find a solution. The question you ask now is where the problem is because finding a solution for a problem you have, is a good thing right? Not entirely the problem is, if we start to express our feelings and immediately search for solutions we loose something that makes us human. The ability to have feelings and express them to others. If we stop doing that we all become robots just trying to solve problems without really admitting our feelings.

If our society becomes more like a machinery than it already is we will all end up in a way we never wanna be.
