Dr. Seuss

"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple" Dr. Seuss.

These are indeed profound words of wisdom. I would also add that the simplest answers are often the most difficult to implement. There is an old adage about taking the easy road versus the road less traveled and lets not forget the high road. On these roads one may find the bridge over troubled waters or the infamous bridge to no where, but I digress.

Life often seems full of complex problems, but most have a simple, albeit difficult answer. The one exception in my mind often involves the classic no win problem. Where your actions are going to cause pain for the parties involved in the problem no matter which solution one chooses. These, are the truly difficult problems.

Ultimately, if we have our health and our family everything else is small potatoes.
