Problems(1) Introduction
There are many attitudes towards life.
In the beginning life was a struggle for survival. There are many people today that are still at this stage.
When feudalism started life was for serving a lord or a king, or
gods, and afterwards to a country, and nowadays to all humanity
With the industrial revolution life became a contest.
With the leasure class life was for enjoyment and pleasure.
For a few life was for learning, or contemplation, or art, or sport.
For others it was for containment or for law and order.
Another attitude is that life is for love.
The biologists say that the purpose of life is evolution.
A provocative question was do you eat to live or live to eat ?
Shakespeare said that life is a stage and everyone is an actor.
There are those who see life as a game.
There was a French movie called "Life for Life".
According to the Talmud life is a corridor to the hereafter.
We can expect more attitudes, like - the book "The Art of Living", or life is a drudge, or a vale of tears,
I choose to look at life as a problem. I don't claim that this attitude is better than any other.
I talked in this blog about all the problems, a list that I wrote that includes all the problems that I knew about. I do not have the answer to all the problems and probably not to any of them. For many of them I have a working hypothesis.
This list was written as an educational program so the youngsters could see what lies ahead and can decide which problem(s) interest them the most and they would like to learn more about.
