Overcoming problems.
 

Can we?

(thats all I really wanted to post but somehow I dont think I'mma get enough of a response with that.)

This'll be my last post for a while as college has started back up. Life will begin to go into its neverending torment of slow joy once again.

Is it possible for us to solve every problem in this world? I think we could, if it was destined. We cant tell whats fated though so we dont know if it will happen or not. Is it possible though?

I for one believe that anything, with enough time and care, can be overcome. But not everything can be solved, as there shall always be a problem, in some way.

Although I'd like to say that all problems can be overcome, I have to say that it can never be done. Just as a quick example, the school I go to is democratically run (the students get as much say as the teachers in what happens) and I am actually a student board member. Having that role, I am to try and figure things out so that they work for everyone. And through personal experience, it is impossible to make everyone happy. Content, yes. But someone will always have a "better idea". If you intend to try and overcome a big problem though, good luck.

I don't think we will ever achieve a utopian culture where there is no crime, or sadness.
I think people are completely incapable of being competly at peace. Everyone always seems to want something else even if they have everything. Competition is part of our mind and one of our basic intincts. The need to be better than everyone else is what kept us alive in the wild and it's also why we have so much of what we have today.
If we weren't competitive we wouldn't have tried to make new computers or communication devices. We'd still be using the telegraph and have a gym just to hold our computer. No cars no TV no new medicine. We might still be hunter gatherers if it weren't for the competitive drive.

While we may never reach a morally and ideologically perfect we may eventually eliminate death and disease. We will reach levels of technology completly unimagined now. If you told somebody 100 years ago about the internet or computers they'd think you were insane. 100 years is a blink of the eye in civilization. 1905-2005 compare the times and look how far we've come.

Now try and imagine what could possibly come next.

I go for a Chaos theory. things look for the way to mess up. So, if you solved some problem, that solution will create new problems.
Take the science for example. As a result of investigation, research, and the development in knowledge, people decided to try to make a more comfortable live, by new inventions. Those inventions actually make our live more comfortable (everything on the house, cars, comunications etc) But that also become in serious damage to our environment, the development of weapons by people who wanted to gain power, social illness, etc.

As you see, when someone creates a "solution", that person can't see the overcoming problems. It's a chain reaction.

Problems will exist as long as we're capable of percieving them. Someone will always take issue with the way things are done. The only way a utopian society is possible is by eliminating the importance of the individual's feelings and opinions, or exerting an exact control over them. Not only is this more or less impossible, but it isn't too utopian either.

Besides, no matter what we do, society will always have to deal with some form of change sooner or later. That means society will have to adapt, and with every adaptation, old problems go away, but new ones arise. That's the true nature of evolution; change, not advancement.

Dealing with any individual problem is easy. But you're going to create at least one new and different problem in the process.

Problems are what keep a society going. The need to overcome new obstacles is what drives us as a race. If there was nothing that needed fixing then half the world would be out of a job. That would suck.

Um, if we solved all problems, people wouldn’t need employment and society would take on slightly communist ideals. I would be less from each according to his ability, to each according to his need; and more from each what they feel like giving, to each what they want.

But solving all problems is impossible because then we would have a completely stagnant society. Stagnation is impossible and we would slit into decay.

I sorta said that, just not as pretty.
