This document discusses how imbalance between demand and supply is often the root cause of many problems. It provides examples like traffic jams caused by too many vehicles for existing road capacity, divorce resulting from unrealistic expectations between partners, and overpopulation putting stress on resources. While solutions aim to increase supply, this alone cannot keep up with growing demand. Understanding the underlying demand-supply imbalance is key to addressing problems at their root, rather than superficially treating recurring symptoms. Taking corrective action on long-term demand factors like population control, resource management, and education on realistic expectations could help resolve issues in a sustainable manner.
