I have never found willfully ignoring an issue resolved it.

Well, I think I might be confused! Bain functionality breaks down what we perceive. If I perceive that I have a problem, I will need to evaluate the evidence or lack thereof, surrounding what I perceive as a problem...wouldn't I? At what point will I know that I do/or don't, have a problem?

I don't think tangible problems can be solved by ignoring them. I've lost sleep (sometimes for months on end) and eventually found creative ways to fix them. Sometimes it takes SOOOO much thought! There are usually several solutions. If you don't put some thought into it, then you may not find any. It's too easy to give up so that you can free your mind. Maybe that's one of the reasons this world is so screwed up. I don't know...

So, if I have bone cancer, which I'd consider a significant problem, it's actually all in my head and I should simply not think about it?

Yea... I won't be coming to you for any advice.

good point

Lol this is one of the reasons I don't smoke weed. But keep trying, man, solid philosophy isn't easy for most people. You'll get it

this is true but sometimes easier said than done

Not accurate. A problem exists when there are conflicts or obstacles to what we intend to do if It is reasoned action that solves problems -- with an emphasis on both reasoned and action. If our need or intent is vital enough, not solving the problem and simply forgetting about it is not an option.

If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
