Timing

Where does one go? What does someone who is caught in the flash of something they have no control over do?  Most would quickly jump at the chance to say to that person to stop all the whinging and just stop the all the nonsense and do what you need to do in order to  arrest the ongoing stress full situation. The logical mindset sees everything in black and white like if you're hungry eat something, if you're tired take a nap or if a flying insect is buzzing around your head either move or kill it.They are  simple solutions to halt a ongoing problem but what there was something that was preventing that simple solution from being executed? Without actually shadowing that person knowing in full what had been said or done previously or currently you throw out common off the top of your head fix it all theories.
  Yes, sometimes stating the obvious or asking an obvious like your car won't start and someone asks is there gas in the tank, can be thrown out there with a help full heart but taken as an insult to basic intelligence. I think we all have had at least one experience where we panic search for reading glasses we left on our heads or keys we swore we put on the counter but they were in our pocket or purse. My personal favorite is misplacing or losing a debit or credit card and searching the same handbag 30 times and not finding it then to have a friend or co worker ask if i checked my purse thoroughly. After the 30th search and no find it's time to dial up the logic and just call the bank and do what you need to do.
  Not all problems have such an easy fix. Much like not all people have the same abilities and ease of  doing things or attaining success in the same speed or style. The rational part of our brain see a person trying to obtain or do something that most people do or obtain with out effort and the results add up to lots of fishing around but no fish. The logical mind will light small fires under the person in pursuit thinking they aren't trying hard enough, sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't.
  Unless you are privy to some one's every thought or if you are somebody shadow you really have no idea what that person has gone through or going through. You have no clue to what they are experiencing unless of coarse you have or you are going through exactly the same situation. It is way too easy to pass judgement and be the arm chair quarterback. From your view it looks easy to fix but sometimes it comes down to timing; being in the right place at the right time
