Artists problems

Common sense says that a problem is a kind of misfortune, bad luck, almost a disaster. When someone says that there is a problem we take it as something that should not be there, everything had to spin smoothly. For common sense in practice is something goes wrong . It 's like a drawer in the closet and we're putting a nail or whatever prevents us from doing so. It 's like we are making a pot and turned our vessel comes out deformed. Yet sometimes we hear about the problems of those who have so much money, for example, or who has a happy life with a friend: problems when things go well. And in this other occasion exclaim: I wish I had those problems! Here comes in another sense of problem as a result of a state or condition or action. The problem ceases to be a block, something that clogs the water pump when water the plants and becomes something or be held to deal with, arrived in a certain situation. If I go to collect a large sum of money to transport it safely will be my problem, though, unlike before I gladly accept.

But the problem is even more. It 's something more positive. What we often see a problem is just the tip of the iceberg. The problem is actually an opportunity disguised , as Paul Hawken says . Consider, for example, to major financial crises such as that of 2008-2009, and as those of the past: the oil crisis of 1973, for example, or the Great Depression of 1929. These crises as others because they allow an opportunity to abandon wrong or evil habits and mechanisms and to make smarter choices and appropriate to the times and situation. "The problem is something that can be solved first, or you can" writes Umberto Santucci . And again: "The problem is heuristic structure that instructs a search process with the aim of reaching a solution." And so did the problem, found the solution so to speak. A real problem is something that contains within itself the solution. With Aristotle we might say that the problem is potentially the solution and the solution is the problem in place. Every problem contains within itself the solution, as the blocks of marble for Michelangelo's statue already contained that he would pull out, free. The problems are our beautiful block of Carrara marble waiting there in front of us that we treat them with our art. It is we who face the problems the true artists of today!
