Creation, Problems, Enlightenment

When new things are created,
new problems arises along with the new creation.
And when new problems arises,
there are bound to be suffering.

I don't know how am I going to prove this theory of mine,
but if I'm going to take a look at the evolution of mankind;
I guess the history has already tell us everything about it.
From the creation of civilisation,
states go to war to acquire more land and more slaves;
from the creation of weapons,
steel and iron that supposed to be beneficial tools turns into war instruments;
from the discovery of new technology and chemicals,
they were all put into warfare, bringing even more destruction.

Every discovery and creation in life brings along its problems.
But I would say, every creation and discovery mount a milestone in civilisation;
and the challenges awaiting us in these creations,
are there to guide us towards another milestone in our civilisation.
And from every discovery or creation,
there are bound to be problems,
and lessons learnt from these problems.

Mankind spent centuries improving warfare technology,
mounting new milestone in the weapons industry;
yet to only come to a conclusion,
whereby peace is the most valuable and priceless thing in this world.

And this theory goes the same for our life.
In the perspective of life, I would say,
this little theory of mine is seen through our sufferings.

Every birth of a new child,
is one new creation of nature.
And when this new being comes to the world;
he or she, will bound to have her own problems.
In the process of life, as we grow up,
we face problems and stress in various aspects;
as the time goes by, these problems gets bigger,
and the stress becomes heavier.

Never there is a life that is smooth sailing.
If I would say, as mentioned above,
problems are there for us to learn something, or discover something;
then, what are these sufferings in our lives for?

The presence of the natural cycle is in every being;
especially in our mortally life.

Life is full of problems and challenges.
Now, let us look at an example:
Your mathematics textbook is full of problem sums,
and we often have to crack our heads to get about the sum.
Each sum consist of different skills and different solving methods.
The ability to solve each sum proves our proficiency in a certain area of a skill,
or justify our ability to make use of a certain solving method on a sum.

Life is the same, with this pattern everywhere.
Our life is full of problems and sufferings,
and we have to think of ways to get about the problems,
or to stop the sufferings from going on.
Each problem and suffering in our life is caused by different factors.
The ability to endure through a suffering, or solving a problem,
proves our understanding in a certain factor that leads to life problems,
or our enlightenment of why there is suffering happening in life.

Be it problem sums in our mathematics textbook,
or problems and sufferings in life;
both have a common agenda, or aim:

At the completion or the end,
we'll sure understand something, or learn something.
The harder a problem sum, the more we learn;
the harder life is, the more we understand.

It has always been a fact that great historical figures undergo harsh sufferings,
in order to understand life, or to gain enlightenment;
or perhaps, to persevere with their goal of life.

For example, the inventor of economical cheap paper,
Marquis Cai Lun, had undergo castration;
The founder of the Soviet Union,
Lenin, had undergo suffering and persecution,
before he established the world's first communist regime,
which fought hard against Western democracies.

Even Lord Buddha himself undergo suffering,
before he gained enlightenment.

For every new creation, there is, new knowledge behind it.
The problems that these creations serve,
are gateways towards the knowledge in these creation;
or maybe at a higher level,
towards understanding and enlightenment.

For life, there is, bound to be sufferings.
A great deal of morals, virtues, and wisdom are hidden behind these sufferings.
The problems and sufferings serve as a bridge towards these hidden treasures;
to bring us towards understanding, and enlightenment of life.
