THE PROBLEM SOLVER

No matter how big or how bad a problem may be, or if it looks like there is no solution for a particular problem, one must look for and work hard enough to find the solution for his or her problem for there is a solution to every problem.

Problems are synonymous with life and they share a symbiotic relationship with life as well, therefore problems can sometimes be useful in life. If people could live their lives without problems, it would be a very nice, but uneventful life. Problems give people an excelled ability to think about a way to solve life's little dilemmas, either permanently or temporarily. Problems keep people thinking, and problems keep people busy. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a problem free life.

Thankfully, there are people who are always close by and usually always willing to help. These people shall be dubbed as the chosen ones. These chosen ones, who are the oldest of the population, have the necessary wisdom for helping those who are close to them, find solutions to their problems. People, who feel plagued with problems or just need someone to talk to do not have to look too far for these chosen ones for the chosen ones are always closer than most realize. Sometimes, the chosen ones are better to talk to and can sometimes offer better advice than a licensed psychiatrist or a psychologist because the chosen ones are better listeners and tend to be a bit more involved with the people they are helping.

Some chosen ones tend to get too involved with and take on too many different problems too quickly. These problems eventually become so overwhelming they tend to cause the chosen ones to develop severe problems of their own. Later, when these chosen ones finally realize that they have had enough of helping people with their problems and their ailed mediocrity, they can begin to bear a grudge against the people they have chosen to help, they will begin to resent what those people stand for, and they will quickly put an end to helping all other people. This is what happens to a good-willed chosen one when he or she tries to help too many problematic people. Too many other people's problems build up on the chosen one's problems, the chosen one's personal problems then go unattended and are merged with the ailed person's problems, and this tangled mess of problems becomes an overwhelming nightmare for a chosen one.

Some exceptionally, angry, imposters of chosen ones, and these are of a very minuscule percentage, will hide
