Over The Dam
“Well, that’s water over the dam,” we often say, dismissing any issue with an old adage and shift of mind.
But that doesn’t always solve the issue. Water does not disappear. It DOES GO somewhere! It is neither destroyed nor vanished. It turns up elsewhere.
Problem issues are seldom solved by letting them go “over the dam.” They have a tendency to turn up somewhere else, and often more severe than when first met.
I have a feeling that there are few REAL problems in life. What we call problems are only unmet opportunities begging for attention. But if left alone by “putting off facing them,” or (what’s worse) ignoring them, opportunities ultimately become problems.
Water does go “over the dam,” but problems have a way of “damming up” inside of us, causing havoc with emotional health and wrecking meaningful relationships.
Look to God and your religious institutions for real solutions for your problems. Why not begin solving them this week?
