Smiler Sometimes they are simple, but I am now quite staggered when I find information which is correct in the place where I expect to find it! nell

In the beginning god made everything simple. There were no problems, if you wanted to eat you simply plucked a fruit. We had no need for clothes or tools and the sun shone every day. However, after a while we noticed that life was aimless with little point. So one day we invented problems, and life gained meaning. Through solving these probelms we grew and developed. We liked solving problems so much, that we spent more and more time creating these problems to solve. Now we are happy, for we see life as one big problem. We spend so much of our time trying to solve these problems that we fail to see that we invented them in the first place, aren't we clever little human beings.
