Thoughts on problems and why they are there?...

Seek and thou shall find...

I sometimes wonder about life and the way people lead it. It's simply fascinating to see that after evolving to such great heights mankind suffers more problems than any of the other less evolved species. There are n-types of diseases, stress, tension, injuries, you name it, they got it. What are we evolving into - the perfect specimen of God or just freaks losing it with every passing second???
Then again you might say whether it's correct to say that we are evolving at all? You might say that it's not we that are evolving it's just the things around us that are evolving like all the gadgets that we drool upon. Maybe it's that in the quest of a happy life we are relying on these gadgets, you know. "I'd be happier if i didn't had to wash clothes by hand" - and boom, you got a washing machine. But did this make your life any happier? Easier, yes, happier - i don't know. Come to think of it what the hell are we thinking if we are thinking that these things will make us happier? Sure i'd love to ride a fast bike or love go to office by a chopper. But when these things become reality they just don't feel that special.
Is this a bad solution to find happiness??? No. Solutions are never wrong, they are always right. It's just that your question/problem is wrong. That's what I believe is the case. How many times do you stop to think about what would make your life happier? Forget about working on it, it's just thinking i'm talking about. Never. People always steer clear of thinking. It's a big big thing best left to scientists and geeks. Besides who's got the time to daydream? People assume they'd be happy when they get a promotion or when they get a new car or whatever. But it just doesn't happens with these things.
Sometimes we just assume that a problem is a part of life, you know. If the kids are not obidient, it the generation gap. If your boss is making your life hell, that's also a part of your life. Problems are never part of life. No problem ever was meant to stay in your life.
Identify your problems. It's easier than most of the things you do. Just think for half an hour everyday about your problems write them down. Identification itself removes a third of your problems.
