Why do we need problems?

Question from the Internet:

“Will there ever be a time in the world when problems will cease?”

Would it actually be good if we never had any problems? Would it be beneficial if we did not have to overcome problems and obstancles? Would it be good not to have any arguments and disagreements with each other?

For constant and qualitative growth we need problems, we need differences of opinions and passionate arguments. We can’t learn about ourselves and about the world around us without constant analysis and sytnthesis which is always based on problems and their solutions, on arguments and agreements.

What we need is overall and collectively agreed upon goals and purpose. Then we can align everything we encounter towards those goals and purpose. Then we won’t even look at the problems as “problems”, but we will look at them as new opportunities to measure ourselves and our progress towards the goal.

Through problems – that are increasingly global, affecting all of us – and their solutions we can also measure how far and effectively we have come to collective understanding, thinking and decision making, which is absolutely crucial in a globally integrated and totally interdependent world.

In the end, we will see that “problems” are actually our friends and partners, constantly spurring us forwards while giving us the opportunities to refine ourselves and our “collective consciousness”, so we could understand and progress towards our collective, evolutionary Human goal faster and more effectively.
