A Case of No Action

What does the future hold? In this modern world, there are things that are certain but there are also things that are uncertain (sounds like Donald Rumsfeld talking!). Remember him saying, "As we know, There are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know There are known unknowns. That is to say We know there are some things We do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, The ones we don't know We don't know."

Anyway talking in things in general...it is quite annoying when you expect things to progress but did not. It is obvious that sometimes when there are problems, the easiest way to do is to ignore them and let the problems to just disappear or somehow sort by themselves. But these are like Ostrich burying its head in the sand.

What happens when you 'bury' or 'hide' your head in the sand? The most obvious thing is that you won't be able to see anything! If you can't see anything, you will not know what is happening around you. When a person buries his head in the sand, he tries to run away from his problems; he refuses to even acknowledge that he has any. Instead of tackling the problem, he deliberately ignores it. By turning a blind eye to it, he hopes that somehow the danger or trouble will go away on its own! In other words, he is wishing it away; he doesn't want to deal with it. You cannot continue to bury your head in the sand. We need a plan of action.
