Overlapping problems.

One reason why some problems are difficult to solve or fix is because you have multiple problems overlapping each other. If you take an empty cardboard box and you  wanted to close it, you would take the first flap and fold it down to begin closing the box. Then you would go to the second flap and you would fold that down on top of the first flap. Then you go to the third flap and fold that down on top of the second flap. And when you get to the fourth flap, you would fold that down on top of the third flap but you tuck it underneath the first flap.
Now you have the cardboard box closed. Now how do you open the cardboard box? In order to open up one flap you have to move the fourth flap from over the first one. Each flap has the previous flap holding it down. Each flap poses as a solution to the next flap after it. At the same time this flap poses as a problem to the flap that comes before it.
Problems are a lot like spotting a crocodile in muddy water. For every problem you see, there are additional problems that you don't see. Each problem you look at has an additional problem attached to it. If you look at a problem you are looking at multiple problems. In order to solve one problem you have to deal with another problem.
In order to remove one flap you have to remove the one before it first. In life if you have one problem you often have multiple problems that exist that you may not see. If you have one problem, there is another problem that you cannot see holding that first problem down. There is always another problem that came before the problem in which you are looking at right now. You have to solve the problem that came before the problem in which you want to solve, if that makes any sense.
 Sometimes you have to look at all of your problems and come up with a way in which you can blast through all of the problems at one time. Other times you have to solve only one particular problem at a time. Problems and solutions go hand and hand. Where you have one you have the other. All problems are solutions to other problems, and all solutions are problems to other solutions. It's a continuous cycle problem, solution, then problem, then another solution.
The reason why problems may overlap each other is because of solutions created to solve other problems. The solutions worked at the time they were created to solve other challenges that existed at that time. Now that the situation has changed that solution that once worked then becomes a problem for now that need to be removed. Solving a problem made me more than just solving one problem. He takes patience and understanding of the situation to be able to come up with clear solutions to solve life's challenges.
