Answer = Problem

since when is answer equivalent to problem?

i was watching a Cantonese TVB problem on Ah Chan who's currently in Mauritius talking about his life and struggles and it got me thinking when he said that his daughter got to fend for herself when he became bankrupt. His daughter who lead a comfortable lifestyle got to adjust and work to support herself to get to university.

like in life, answers when given without the workings or how it was derived can be a problem itself. a person born with a silver spoon without knowing how it was earned can lead to many problems later in life.

the feeling of joy in life is better savour and appreciated when a person actually earns it. like starting a puzzle piece and completing the whole puzzle piece by piece. the joy gained at the end is different compared to the puzzle bought wholesale from a shop or as a gift from friend.

and this is what separates the wheat from the chaft and how it can makes a person better mentally. i believe that when we are born, we're like a piece of plasticine. as we grow, we are constantly shape by our surroundings and the environment but mostly, we are what we want the plasticine to be.
