“We believe that defining, analyzing and studying problems
is the way to make a better world. It’s
the dominant mind-set of Western culture.
This context- that life is a set of problems to be solved- may actually
limit any chance of the future being different from the past. The interest we have in problems is so intense
that at some point we take our identity from those problems. Without them, it seems like we wouldn’t know
who we are as a community. Many of the
strongest advocates for change would lose their identity if the chance they
desired occurred"- Kinfolk Magazine, Volume Sixteen
The first time that I read this, I wholeheartedly agreed
with it. Do we use too much
electricity? Do we, mostly as Americans,
eat too much junk food? Are there parts
of the world that are seriously lacking in food of any sort? Yes. I
absolutely believe that these are genuine problems that we face in the
world.
Is it bad that there are a ton or problems in the
world? Probably. But if there were never any problems in the
world, what would life be like?
Probably pretty boring, but on the flip side, I don’t think
I could justify spending my whole entire life, totally and completely dedicated
to solving one problem. This one problem
would
If I hadn’t had to pay for college out of pocket, would I be
as good of a saver as I am now? Probably
not. If I didn’t love dance the way I
do, would I still have knee problems?
Maybe, but they most likely wouldn’t be what they are now. If I weren’t so dedicated to finding ways to
supplement my income (and subsequently lose sleep) would I travel as much as I
do? Absolutely not.
So do I believe that there are problems in the world that
need to be studied and analyzed before being solved? Absolutely.
Do I believe that solving some of the problems will change the
future? I’d say that I do. But do I think that any given person should
dedicate 100% of their being to solving one problem? Not so much. You'd go insane living life like that!
I think that people should help their fellow humans, feed a few animals, pick up some garbage and do what they can to keep some semblance of harmony in the world, but reserve their sanity. Loss of sanity will surely lead to an imbalance of the aforementioned harmony and that will just create more issues.
