What Are Problems?

Do problems exist without their solutions? Do solutions birth the problems into existence and vice versa? Problems are highlighted by the perspectives that focus on them, and in other states of consciousness problems may never be problems at all, but opportunities to design a network of possibilities. Like ants which just learned that all their efforts in moving their colony away from problematic beetles. Such problematic beetles, so pesky and annoying that they forced ants to change the direction of their construction, migrating away from this danger which led to an expansion, doubling their resources and offering more food and safety to their community than they ever imagined. And it was the beetle’s fault. The problematic beetle.
