Don’t think of life as a problem that needs to be solved!

"As 20th-century existentialist Gabriel Marcel once put it, don’t think of life as a problem that needs to be solved. That’s not what it means to be in a relationship with life. Instead, it’s what it means to be in a confrontation with life. It’s hostility! How to live life isn’t a puzzle that you try to conquer. Instead, life is something you need to strive to be — to get involved with. Face it — your relationship with life is the most intense bond you’ll ever have. Figure out how to cultivate that relationship in just the right way. Treat life with the respect that it deserves."
