Agreeing with King Solomon's "everything is meaningless", I think problems are (luckily) the only things that give life meaning.
Not just problems in itself — but looking at it as an opportunity to grow, to evolve, to change; because that's what Nature is — Change.
Like Marcus Aurelius would say, "What is it—this thing that now forces itself on my notice? What is it made up of? How long was it designed to last? And what qualities do I need to bring to bear on it—tranquillity, courage, honesty, trustworthiness, straightforwardness, independence or what?", I think, in any "problem", we should equip ourselves with the things necessary to overcome that problem.
This is what I think Christians call "The full armor of God" — Ephesians 6:10-18.
"Why then are we offended? Why do we complain? This is what we're here for." - SENECA
