life is difficult

life is difficult. this is a great truth.it is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it,then life is no longer difficult. most do not fully see this truth.instead they complain about the enorimity of their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy.it seems to them that their difficulties represent a unique kind of suffering espeically forced upon them or else upon their families,their class,or their nation. life is a series of problems.do we want to complain about them or solve them ? discipline is the basic set of tools we require to solve life's problems.without discipline we can solve nothing. what makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one.problems,depending on their nature,cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear.these are uncomfortable feelings,often as painful as any kind of physical pain.indeed, it is because of the pain that events or conflicts cause in us that we call them problems.and since life poses an endless series of problems,life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. yet,it is this whole process of solving problems but life has its meaning.problems are because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.when we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit,we challenge and encourage human capacity to solve problems,just as in school we set problems for our children to solve.it is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.as benjamin franklin said,'those things that hurt,instruct.'it is for this reason that wise people learn not to dread but actually to welcome the pain of problems.
