Life is not about winning or being successful at the end- its about finding life's meaning, its about personal empowerment, our agency, freeing ourselves from fear. We are a rich mixture of archetypes, energies, and potentialities. We have inner conflicts. Instead of reaching resolutions - we often surrender to our impulses and addictions. With hard work, we may evolve our problem into a source of consciousness and growth. When our inner 'healer' is inspired, we struggle towards the unifying truth of the self.
