Many of us are in situations that we can't handle. We just want to escape. We don't have the maturity or knowledge or energy to solve the problem and we choose to escape. Many a times by escaping we just move from one problem to another. We imagine the new place to be a heaven, but later realize that it's just a new problem we created for ourself thinking that it will be easier to handle this problem than the old one. It's like moving from one house to another because your old house did not have proper sun. Without inspecting the new house, you moved in and hope that it gets enough sun.
Problems cannot be destroyed. They can only be created (by a super-efficient machine called the human mind).
All problems assigned to you need to be solved (i.e no escaping).
Unsolved problems transform from one form to another and grow in complexity.
A problem can have multiple correct solutions.
All solutions need to terminate but they can be sub-optimal.
On successful completion of a problem you're rewarded with wisdom and one more problem to solve.
All problems in your queue get flushed once you lose your sanity or attain self-realization.
I was reading The Map: Finding the Magic and Meaning in the Story of Your Life:
It pretty much stated the same thing. You need to know where you're stuck, do a ruthless analysis, get all the help you can and come out of the problem - stronger. Unless you solve the problem your life will go in circles. I think the Law of Karma also means the same. We want to iron out all our problems allotted to us in this incarnation. If we have a lot of problems to solve you have to take a couple of reincarnations to solve all them, but ensure that while solving you do not create more problems for yourself which will ensure that your problems bucket is never empty. Once it's empty and you attain self realization. Every lifetime, they say, is allotted to you, to help you realize some issue and solve it and become a better person. The more close you are to godliness, the more close you are to self-realization and breaking free of this cycle of birth and death. Makes sense, doesn't it?
