The Problem is myself!

 Why dont I get down from my car and look at it and realize that 

there is flat tire, spark-plug not firing or the gear-box needs oil " 

The Human Machine - Arnold Bennett

 I need to get the perspective of the environment and myself-

I should not rush into judgments that wife is wrong -boss is wrong - neighbor is wrong 

 opinion of How things should be? 

 I need to use the stoic perspective of react vs respond : react not to the events

rather respond to my judgment of the event!

Problem is not the problem 

My opinion of the problem is the problem!

Another perspective on same topic  from Yoga Philosophy : Me as analogy to Chariot

Ì am a 5-Horses-Drawn Chariot :

The Roads are the Desires

5 Senses are the 5 Horses

Reins are my Mind faculty - perceptors of sensory inputs

Charioteer is the Intellect 

Lord of the vehicle is the Soul

If things are wrong it's probably me and not the world
