Why Problems occur?

People wonder why certain problems and crisis occur in their lives. Then the easiest explanation is one of three:
1. It is caused by others
2. It is caused by one’s action
3. It is caused by natural forces or non-human forces

Three types of mindset thus exist. It is tough to change one to adapt a new mindset. One will usually blaming one of three continuously until something or someone doesnt stop them:
1. others
2. oneself
3. nature

But the real cause might be something else. Yet people will be blind to those possibilities.

Also, every problem and crisis besides having a cause also have an objective. That at first doesnt seem to make sense. But at the level of intuition we know it is true. Objectives are mainly of also three kinds:
1. so that a learning / change that couldnt come earlier, now occurs
2. so that karma from past life are burned
3. to make way for a new start

It takes courage to change one’s focus from “cause” to “Objective”. But it is a mental shift that is needed.

Yet just dwelling on the objectives and ignoring the investigation of causes is a common problem with many people with a religious background. they just put the whole problem out of perspective by attaching only to the objectives.

That also is wrong as they will never know the cause effect chain that lead to this problem. Thus they will never be able to learn from their mistakes or that of others. Even if the Cause is nature, one must learn how to prevent that from occuring next time.

Thus one must have a balanced approach to life’s problems and Crisis.
