DIVISION

Problems cannot be
Resolved at once.
Slowly untie knots
Divide to conquer.


In order to solve problems, it is helpful to first understand
whether they are puzzle, obstacle, or entanglement. A puzzle need only
be analyzed carefully : It is like unraveling a ball of yarn and
requires patience more than anything else. An obstacle must be overcome
: We must use force and perseverance to either destroy or move away from
what is blocking us. An entanglement mires us in a maze of limitations :
This most dangerous of situations requires that we use all our resources
to extricate ourselves as quickly as possible.

No matter what the problem, however, it is important not to take the
thing on whole. Break it down into smaller, more easily handled
components. Most problematic situations are combinations of puzzles,
obstacles, and entanglements. By fracturing them into these more basic
elements, they can be managed easily. Even the greatest of difficulties
can be resolved when they are slowly reduced. Then the knots of life are
untied as easily as if we had a magic charm.
