Ein versuch to justify

i am actually writing this blog in response to murari's statement that you cannot say that "I have a problem" because you can only have(posses) a object, and ya it sounds right

But after some thinking (I have exams day after tomorrow and i am thinking about the justification of using HAVE ) i hit upon a "may be" reason for saying i have a problem.

When you say i have a problem you actually mean that you are possesed by a problem or a problem has you because as murari said a problem is not an object and you cannot have a prblem (am planning to write a blog about objectivity of problems as soon as my exam gets over)

But man as a creature has always been steeped in self importance and so when saying anything "I" becomes all important.

A problem possesses me

I have a problem

Both the sentences convey the same meaning but in the first sentence the importance is on the problem the emphasis is on the word problem the all important place is occupied by the word problem and the information of who has the problem comes second .

The second sentences begins with I and in the beginning itself man asserts his self importance the words " I HAVE" become important, zuerst the information that i have something is conveyed and then comes the word problem and it occupies a poor secondary position a lesser important one.

You can also say " I am possessed by a problem" but here again you are saying you are under the control of something (here a problem) which no person likes . here also problem becomes more important than I.

So i think we came to saying I HAVE A PROBLEM. This is only what i feel and i may not be correct.
