“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
Life does not settle into a final answer. Each solution changes the conditions and brings another need, choice, or difficulty into view. Living continues through that unfinished work. This does not mean life is only trouble. A problem is also something that calls for attention, skill, and discovery. Loss can reveal what still has value. A setback can open work that would never have begun while comfort hid the need.
The process has no complete solution because life itself keeps moving. We learn, adjust, and meet the next condition with whatever the last one taught. Problem-solving is not outside living. It is one of the ways a life remains awake and able to continue.
