It is in the whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has meaning. problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure. problems call forth our courage and our wisdom; indeed, they create our courage and our wisdom. it is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually. it is through the pain of confronting and resolving problems that we learn.

Solving the population problem is not going to solve the problems of racism, of sexism, of religious intolerance, of war, of gross economic inequality. but if you don't solve the population problem, you're not going to solve any of those problems. whatever problem you're interested in, you're not going to solve it unless you also solve the population problem. whatever your cause, it's a lost cause without population control.

It is through solving problems correctly that we grow spiritually. we are never given a burden unless we have the capacity to overcome it. if a great problem is set before you, this merely indicates that you have the great inner strength to solve a great problem. there is never really anything to be discouraged about, because difficulties are opportunities for inner growth, and the greater the difficulty the greater the opportunity for growth.
