“Life is a problem; one that no one has yet been able to solve. Living it is a never-ending, problem-solving process.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from Vicissitudes of Life, chapter 7
In other words
Calling life a puzzle sets you up badly. A puzzle has a last piece. This does not, so any unfinished stretch gets read as failure when it is simply an ordinary week. Nobody has cracked it yet and nobody will. Turned the other way round, the hours you spend figuring out your next move are not a delay before things properly begin. They are the thing, and working out problems is the one skill that never stops paying.
