The needle in the haystack, ¿is it or not?



It was once thought that everything had a solution, but currently that belief no longer reassures the younger generation.

A popular saying exclaims: "It is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack!".

This problem exists because the straw and the needle are visually very similar. The difficulty is that a needle in the haystack is camouflaged, hidden, concealed.

Reflecting even with little clarity we can continue to believe that the popular saying should clarify whether there is any certainty that that needle sought is or is not in the barn, because if we are convinced that someone put it there, the problem is reduced to look straw by straw until we can find the needle. Conversely, if we are unsure about the presence of said object monocular, (because it has one eye), the search difficulty increases exponentially.

What stage are we living? What does this have to do with finding a needle in a haystack?

I think, once, (our parents and grandparents), they felt that solutions to the perennial existential problems (health, money and love), were and only had to look for them, studying, consulting, striving.

In terms of the popular saying, the older generations had the feeling that finding the solution to the existential problems was as arduous as finding a needle in a haystack needle expecting that surely was there.

Since our culture began to disbelieve the old and joined the cult of the new, that feeling of tranquility and attachment to the perseverance and industry, similar to those needed to find an object concealed in thousands, left to reassure.

Since our culture only believes in the new and perhaps not yet arrived in the country, we look forward to because we ignore if the needle is.
