277 Water on Floor

Wow! What happened here?

Well, as you can see, I have water all over the floor of my recreation room. 

Can you help me clean it up?

Sure.

And he starts mopping the water.

Then he notices the tap is still running in the sink. And the sink is overflowing.

Hey, shouldn’t you close the tap first?

No, that’s not the problem. I’ve had the tap on before and it never caused a flood.

Well the drain is blocked.

Yes, well I’ve had a blocked drain before and it never caused a flood either.

Please stop talking and help me clear this water.

Do you then stop talking and help this person?

Why not?

The same thing applies to you and what is happening to you.

You must first verify the source of the problem. And stop that.

Once the source is stopped, it’s just a matter of time and effort.

Ignoring the source and ‘hoping it will go away’ is not the solution.
