Most problems exist because they evolve with time — they are a part and parcel of the era we live in. Have you ever heard of fascism or capitalism being considered major issues in ancient times? Definitely not. But today, they’re some of the biggest concerns we face. The reason is simple: these problems didn’t exist before. They emerged as part of the times.
The above are macro-level issues. On a micro level, we now face challenges like job insecurity, EMIs, school fees, and healthcare expenses. These weren’t common concerns in earlier times, but today, they dominate everyday life. Again, these are problems that emerged with the times.
Humanity has always found ways to solve problems — if not now, then eventually. But here’s the twist: we never really know what new problems will arise in the future. Each generation faces its own unique set of challenges, and no solution from the past can fully fix a problem of the present. Every problem is deeply rooted in its time.
And just as problems are a part and parcel of their era, so must the solutions be. These issues can’t be patched up with temporary fixes or jugaad solutions. They demand answers that are just as embedded in the present context as the problems themselves.
