Discussion Question: Is a problem still a problem if you don't think it's a problem?

Just because a problem goes unacknowledged doesn't mean it isn't a problem. In fact, going unacknowledged makes it an even bigger problem because nothing is being done to stop it and the fact that you can't notice the problem means something else is wrong.

This is similar to "If a tree falls and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

I feel like ignoring problems will just let them grow. Nip them in the bud!

A problem is a problem because you see it as a problem instead of a challenge and an oopportunity to grow and evolve through it.

If you don't think it's a problem it can still be a problem, but it also can make it less troubling and limitating.

The problem is that this thread is all about problems. :)

we might not acknowledge that right now...but the truth is the problem persists till it is treated..!!

yes

Yes it is still a problem bcoz the very thinking makes your problem problematic

Well if first it can be called a problem, even if it's not to believed to be one, it must be recognised to be called a problem, so yes, it is.

In my opinion, yes it is still a problem. Why? Because it's similar to the saying "if a tree falls and no one is around to hear it...does it still make a sound?" YES, it does make a sound. Just because you weren't around to hear it doesn't mean that the tree is soundless.
