Life is difficult. It comprises of a series of problems.
This is one of the greatest truths of life. Surprisingly, many do not know. And that we must acknowledge.
When we fail to see this, we always try to avoid problems when they arise or try to ignore them, thinking the problems will go away themselves.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MASTERING THE ACT OF SILENCE
But when we believe and accept that life is difficult itself then it will no longer be difficult. Because, its difficulties will no longer matter. This enables us to prepare our minds against these difficulties. Thereby it grants us the enablement to transcend them.
So when problems come our ways we will be ready to face them, when we face them and feel the pains that come with them, it strengthens us mentally and also spiritually.
But the desire to ignore or avoid these problems because of the pains that come with them is the basis of human mental illness.

Many try to deaden themselves to the pains by taking drugs or try to shift the blames on someone or the society as though life shouldn't have any challenges, but to be always easy.

No pain no gain they say. Absorb the pains to enjoy the benefits.
