Did you see how the solution to one problem is a cause of another problem? I call the phenomenon a Circular Problems. The Circular Problems is a phenomenon where the solution to one problem is the cause of another problem. The circle keeps growing. We think we are busy solving problems. However, we are likely to be spinning our wheels.
