No, a problem isn't a constant integer. What is a problem, in many instances, is defined by our perceptions, and it can be associated with both good and bad depending on your perspective of it. So when you take it away, you are creating a problem for those who perceived it as good.

That makes sense. I heard that in sociology they can't define anything as deviant behavior because it's defined by the scenario. I guess the same principles applies. I was being more cathartic in the OP than anything though. I guess it isn't possible to have good without bad. I just don't like the world we live in.
