Facing Problems and Chaos with Voluntary Attention

Problems always surface with negative emotions, signaling their presence. Ignoring problems only makes them worse, as they tend to deteriorate on their own. The chaos in our lives, as depicted in Genesis, is a constant struggle, and it's evident that the world is too complex for us to handle. Ignoring chaos is not a solution; instead, attending to it voluntarily can help forestall it from falling apart. This aligns with the hero mythology that emphasizes confronting and attending to problems rather than hiding from them, as avoidance only makes the problems grow larger.
