Most problems are encountered long after the seeds of the issue has been planted. Sometimes "fixing" the problem is less about fixing the symptom and more about root causing and discovering the underlying reason why its happening. It feels like often you start really by understand the issue at hand, at a deeper level before you can even think about what's going on. 

However, root causing the issue is, but honestly, a lot of work -- because if forces you to really understand in as much as depth as possible today (with today's knowledge) why something is happening, and you constantly have to doubt what you know, and go deeper into the problem. And sometimes you don't have enough time, or don't have enough domain knowledge, or we collectively as a species don't know of a better way to solve that problem yet

If you have the choice, it’s far better to identify and address the root cause of an issue

Rather than just treat the symptoms 

It’s a much healthier and more fulfilling way to go about life

I like that you started with "If you have the choice" because sometimes you have to let some fires burn to focus on the big fire!!
