Intuitively , the graduate student sensed that getting a new next
door neighbor who smokes was a PROBLEMTUNITY, but wasn't sure why. In the next few days and weeks he realized that seeing how fucked-up his neighbor was, addicted to nicotine and unable to quit smoking, and that man's other problemtunities, let the graduate student see how blessed he was to be healthy and living correctly. The opportunity the problemtunity presented him with is a chance to spend more
time studying, because to prevent his new neighbor's cigarette smoke from entering his apartment through its main
door he puts a blanket at the base of the
door, and to not need to stick parts of the blanket in the cracks on the side of the
door more than once-a-
day, he stays at home more, dedicates more
time to study, and is getting better grades.
