If you have a Problem Element and use the negative version of it (ex. lack of Faith), does the Solution also have to be the negative (ex. lack of Disbelief…which sounds similar to lack of Faith) or is it up to the author?

It’s hard to imagine that a Problem of lack of Acceptance could be solved with Non-Acceptance, though maybe they’re slightly different. Someone might send out a college application, then suffer from anxiety due to not hearing back. Finally getting a rejection letter would end the waiting and not knowing.
