The general human tendency is to directly jump into and start thinking of possible solutions for the problems with out even giving a moment to think about the problem. This would many times lead to misconception of problem and also leads us into wrong direction. Hence, it is must to concentrate on what actually problem is all about.. problem may be as complicated as we feel it is.. analyzing the problem helps us to know the actual seriousness and criticality which guides us to find the appropriate solutions. Some times, finding the right source of the problem gives us the solution too which is possible only when we give proper attention towards the problem. it is also said that the understanding the problem solves half of the problem. Hence ,it is said that the solution lies in the problem only.

          A problem is a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved. Psychologically, a problem conveys itself through some feeling which we find hard to accept. We want to get rid of this feeling and gain some clarity so that we are at ease. We want freedom from any emotional disturbance.

A thought alone never raises a problem which has no so called “negative” emotions attached to it. If I think about jealousy without becoming jealous then it is no problem. But if I feel jealous or any other negative emotion it becomes a problem and I want to get rid of it. A Mathematical problem is a problem if you sit with an intention to solve it. You can come to the solution using some logic without getting emotional. But a thought that calls forth an emotion can come up anytime if you are not watchful enough.
