The "It's Not My Problem" Problem

Pass it along.

One to the next.

Excuses abound.

"It's not MY problem."

"Someone else will take care of IT."

Too often the "it" is not an it.

But a Person.

The "It's not my problem"

is a Part of Us

and we are a Part of It.

Well done and VERY witty, although you may not have intended it as so. it does strike a deeper undertone tone of the seriousness of responsibility and the idea that one need only see a problem and CHOOSE to fix it because they CAN not because it wasn't their fault. Well done Diana! ;)

Thank you, Raymond.

When it comes to friendship, concern is a very important factor. Without that caring feelings, then one wouldn't be a friend at all.
In an organization, concern for everything is important - to each member, to the whole organization, to the rules and standards, to the welfare of clients - not caring of one of them would affect success or failure of the group.

Nice piece. Something relevant.

[Diana]

Thank you, I couldn't agree more about the relevancy.

You're welcome.

I have been witness to the "problem" being a child too many times not to know how wise this poem is... Well done, Diana.

[Diana]

Thanks, teacher?

[Rita L. Sev]

Yes, I teach middle school. :)

[Diana]

I think I recall seeing something about your being a teacher on the site... I've taught middle school in the past.

I like the abstract logic of this one Diana. Nicely pen'd.

[Diana]

Thanks so much, Frieda.

Wow. One of your most clever philosophical poem I have read from you. You have that sharp mind and eyes to so many things. Excellent...:)..........

[Diana]

The word philosophy churned in my brain while writing this. I'm not at all surprised that you noticed, dear reader. Thank you.
