A counterintuitive thing, but I totally agree!

There are problems that require attention, there are also others that die from absence.

I've recently read about this (in Nassim Taleb's works). When we ignore or delay attending to some problems, we allow them to play out, take their normal course, without any intervention. They sort themselves out.

It is often very tempting to act. And in our rush to act, our interventions actually negatively impact the situation, putting us in an even worse predicament. Sometimes its more prudent to chill and let things work itself out.

So, I guess, the wisdom is in knowing WHICH ONE...and WHEN and WHERE.
