The solutions are all simple, once you have found them.
The solutions are all simple - after you have arrived at them. But they are simple only when you know already what they are.
-Robert M. Pirsig
It takes wisdom, courage, and skill to find a good solution to a problem. Have you seen how infants struggle while learning to walk - something that we take for granted ? It is extremely challenging for children to learn to walk without bumping into things, for they have not acquired that skill yet. Do we encourage them to learn to walk, or do we wish that they never have to go through the natural struggle of the learning process, that teaches them the life skills they need?
Likewise, every challenge we face appears so only because we have not grown enough in insight, wisdom and skill to handle it. Once we grow beyond the problem, the perception of the problem no longer remains, and the solution becomes effortless. We all wish for problems to go away, instead would it not be more useful for us to wish that we grow in wisdom, courage and skill to handle the problem gracefully?
