Nothing Can Compare To This

Last night my 17 year old son commented that there is noone on this earth without a problem of some sort. This we know. He said that if we do not have problems we do not have challenges and therefore we are not really living. He also said that it was impossible for us to live a perfect life as we are all imperfect by virtue of our humanity and that only by going through our problems and challenges can we become more like how the Creator would wish us to be.
He said that mankind is by its very nature inclined to sin and all our struggles are the price we pay for just being human. This is a rather dark if possibly correct view.
Some people have lighter loads to bear and some heavier and maybe it is punishment for deviating off the correct path as the Creator or source intended. That is where we need to be in tune with our intuition in a very focussed way.
If we tackle our problems with a light and happy spirit they seem less anyway giving emphasis to the idea that there are only 10% problems but that 90% of our problems arise by our reaction and attitude towards the 10%. This is very hard to practice if one is in a bad situation but it is the route out of the trouble usually I feel. That light and happy spirit (authentically so) is the good of the Creator manifesting in us to help us along.
What does everybody else think about this?

Steve is right when he says there are no problems, as problems are only thought patterns we have created in our minds due to social conditioning. e.g. death is a sad event – this has been taught to us by society. Or betrayal for that matter. It could be looked upon as yet another experience or event.

But dealing with so called problems in a light hearted happy spirit, in a spirit of learning is what we need to do. For this we need to be focused as Steve keeps reminding us. We need to develop an alert mechanism to remind us where our mind and energies are directed.
