There is a parable that goe slike this: "A man goes to see Buddha, to ask guidance for his problems. When he finds him, meditating under a tree, he asks for his help with his problem. Buddha replies that he cannot help him with that problem The man, surprised, then proceeds to ask him about another problem he had Buddha's answer did not change The man, irritated, asked him how could he, a perfectly enlightened being, not help him with his problems Buddha said: A man will alaways have exactly 83 problems, whenever one leaves, another will take it's place, there is no end to this. However, i can halp you with your 84th problem" The man, amazed and puzzled, asked him what that problem was Buddha replies: "That you want to get rid of your 83 problems" One can understand that we will always have problems, and that we cannot hope to solve them all and THEN enjoy ourselves, but we should start being happy now, and face those problems with a positive focus.
