The list go on and on.
But why is the world full of problems?

I know somebody out there is hoping that a wind would blow and clear all our difficulties away. Has it ever occurred to you that problems are necessary in this life?

What will six billion people be doing in a world that is empty of explorers, inventors, thinkers, and professionals in various fields?

Have you ever thought of a world that has no exams to write or puzzles to solve? Or a world with no entertainers and singers? I am just wondering, would you prefer a world without a bed, clothing to wear, good roads and electricity?

Without obstacles, there will be no creativity and no transformation. There will be no need of having this miracle computer called the mind. Don't mourn your problems, solve them. That's one reason why you have a mind.

The world does not mind people who have no minds. Those who have a mind will always think of a way out. Rather than see problems as limitations and obstacles, they see them as opportunities. A world without problems is a graveyard and most people don't want to live there. Problems are signs of life.

Heaven is a place without problems because all the answers are in God. He placed us here so we could find the answers
