Continually fighting the same problem

 

I listened to a great podcast today on CBC talking about how we are continually fighting the same problem which is why it often seems like we are repetitive.  By continually struggling with the same problem our brain is telling is that this is still an unresolved issue.  Perhaps it will never be known, but the smart play here is to be aware of it, and play against it to try to dig a little deeper each time it happens to try to determine the cause and to keep striving to solve a problem/fight a demon/ answer a question. 

But it is also good to remember that there is no past or future, so sometimes digging too deep just causes a bigger hole with no end in sight.  

It is important to know the difference, although by the time you figure it out you might be in a deep hole, covered in dirt and tired.
