He who must stay sane in our world today must come to terms with the fact that as an individual, he is incapable of solving all of society's problems.

No human has such capacity, even the best of us.

One can only do as much as lies within his power, no matter how elastic that power is; and notwithstanding the joules of energy expended to stretch it.

As long as time and space remain, there will always be unsolved problems. One amongst many reason for this is that many people never realise the specific paths upon which they are called to tread, hence they never step on the challenges they are wired to solve.

They may hinge their entire life's pursuit on things and places they are not built to face and conquer, trying to solve problems they have no business with. Depression and high blood pressure may set in for such persons; and society is plunged into plagues on their account.

Seeing that it falls outside one man's lot to solve all of society's problems, should you answer a call to indolence? No, you should not.

Each man must embrace the Spirit that counsels men on their allotted spheres of influence, and unveils the unique problems that require each man's attention, being allied to his sphere.

This way, we'd brim low on too many worries and distractions; we'd channel our energy on bringing solutions to specific problems we are wired to solve.
