The Paradox about Problems

I am not an adept lover of romance movies, though i do love watching other kinds of movies. Very recently i watched two particular romance movies that teach the same lesson. These two movies are 'not easily broken' and 'the vow'. From these movies i learnt that it takes the problems and upside downs of life to make things become right. There are some problems that won’t just go out of our lives unless we learn the lessons from them. Problems have a way of smoothening things up and making them better. They refine our characters and help us form better perspectives about life. We tend to treat people better, love our family more and become better givers. The usual concept we predominantly have about problems is negative, grave and causes nausea. But when we look at our lives over time, we’ll come to notice the impact these problems have had on the course of our lives. Poverty for instance helps people to become better managers of money, sickness helps to bring us to our senses regarding our lifestyle (most especially for people that never give themselves rest and are always in constant stress, sickness is the signal that they need rest), divorces and breakups are pointers to the fact that one needs to be more caring and should put in more work into the next relationship and as a final example, death teaches us to value our lives and of those we dearly care about. It’s all just Nature’s way of balancing life….Ying Yang, as the Chinese philosophy puts it.
