“The greatest and most important problems of life are fundamentally unsolvable. They can never be solved but only outgrown.”
— Carl Jung
Simplified Meaning:
Life's biggest challenges don't have clear solutions. Instead of finding fixed answers, we grow and change so that these problems no longer seem like obstacles. Think of it like a child who outgrows a toy. A toy they once struggled with no longer interests them because they have matured. Similarly, as we gain wisdom and perspective, issues that once seemed huge are no longer as significant. For instance, a teenager may feel heartbroken after a breakup, but as they grow older and experience more, they learn to handle such emotions better. This doesn't mean the problem of heartbreak is solved; it means the person has developed the strength and understanding to move beyond it. So, we need to focus on personal growth to "outgrow" our problems, instead of looking for ways to fix them completely.
