Problems - each one requires a different method to solve it

01/28/2011

The main characteristic of life is that it is never the same: it flows, moves about and changes, displacing beings and things. Yesterday you had a problem that needed solving, and you succeeded by using a particular method. But then the next day something else comes up, and you can’t deal with it by using the same methods or with the same attitude as you did the day before: you are forced to adapt to this new situation. Thus life always brings up different problems to be solved, each one requiring a specific solution. Yesterday, for example, the solution was to show kindness and generosity. But today you have some other business to settle, and this time it is reasoning or firmness or even obstinacy that will help. Another time you will need to be indifferent or to forget. So, each day, you must find how to adapt.
