Problem... Stress... Problem Solved.

How many times has there been a problem?
How many times has that problem been solved?
This pattern has been repeated thousands of times throughout my life, and I see the pattern before me. There is a compulsion to feel stress, that somehow being stressed will solve the problem, or being stressed will give off a signal to others to either aid, or go away. It is another factor of division in an already divided life. Anything that is divided is apart from the whole and therefore is unstable and incomplete. The part cannot see the whole and cannot respond to any challenge wholly, it can only react out of a limited state, a small fragment of knowledge, and that inadequacy breeds uncertainty, fear and keeps the problem, which ultimately is the identity, alive.
The problem is the identity, which perceives the problem and seeks to escape it.
In the resisting and escaping there is suffering.
Problem... Stress... Problem solved.
Really, there is no time gap between "Problem" and "Problem Solved", time enters into the gap when there is a "me" that is experiencing and therefore "Stress" comes into being. Otherwise, there is only the perception of what is. There is no "me" who perceives a "Problem" and therefore, no need for a solution.
