These are all valid points, but I don’t think it applies to EVERYONE. This “root problem” you mention is certainly one that we all need to be aware of. But it seems like more of an everyday hamartia than the root of every problem in our lives. External circumstances have a far greater impact than maybe we give them credit for. The way we were raised, the trauma we’ve had to endure— all of that affects us. Sometimes it’s THOSE situations that can be the root of our problems. Self-improvement can’t fix the messed up sht that happens OUTSIDE of us, and therefore outside of our control.
I thoroughly appreciate all of the thoughtful things you post here, they’re always enlightening reads that provoke philosophies that I might not have ever considered otherwise. Thanks for putting in the time and cognitive effort to write stuff like this!

Outside stuff is a factor, but at the same time it's also one way or another a reflection of one's problems inside. It's one of the reasons one of my main goals was to get as many people in my circles together, because every one of us experienced something on the outside that fucked with us one way or another and what we learned from it, if it helped another stumped, we teach them and vice versa. We each solve problems we have an equal mutual understanding of and at the same time somehow become the missing link to the other person's problems.
However while we do work together and managed to solve enough problems, that allowed us to live off and work off each other, there was always something missing. Something I could always tell that bothered them the most. That's where the whole root problem comes.
To put it in perspective. It's like that episode of the Simpsons where Burns wanted his childhood teddy bear back. The man has billions of dollars, enough to cause Evil 1000 times over and even afford an exact replica of Bobo, but no matter what he did, that bear was one of a kind and the source of his last childhood innocence. When he did get the bear granted he didn't change, but had the show ended that season, that would have solved a story arc on the guy. But point being, Bobo was his root problem at the time. That's the thing about roots, there are so many, so ergo so many root problems.
Each one of my friend's and family and so on has their own individual root problem. It could be something as simple as a mundane task that is far out of reach or something major like one main goal side tracked by the goals that you need to achieve it or obstacles that stand in the way of you "Uprooting" the problem. Even with what I wrote on this article I'm still learning about this as I'm going along.
That said I do appreciate your comment and forgive the lateness of the reply.
