Problem?
If you approach your life
like a problem to be solved
then your life will FEEL
like a problem to be solved.
This is a valid approach to life
so long as you ENJOY solving problems.
But in our experience,
you would rather NOT
have problems to begin with.
Or so you say.
We are not certain of this,
because without problems,
what would you do
with all your free time?
If you could not solve problems,
then you might have to find another way
to affix purpose and meaning to your life.
You could become an artist.
Or follow the spiritual path.
You could become a coach.
But admit it, monkey.
Even these suggestions
are like problems to be solved.
You wonder:
“How do I create something noteworthy?”
“How might I reach enlightenment?”
“What if I use my UNIQUE ABILITIES
to solve OTHER PEOPLE’s problems?”
You just don’t get it, monkey.
But that’s okay. You don’t need to.
If you approach your life
like a problem to be solved
then your life will FEEL
like a problem to be solved.
There’s nothing right
or wrong with this.
Know, however,
that you may approach
ANY of the above actions
without expecting
some sort of result.
Consider acting
out of curiosity
rather than need.
Your life doesn’t
NEED to have
purpose or meaning.
That’s just forcing your way through.
There’s nothing right
or wrong with forcing.
But it’s good to pay attention
to what you are doing,
and WHY you are doing it.
Not that you NEED to.
If you approach life
out of curiosity,
then you shall lead
a curious life.
We should know.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Curiosity-Driven Life Versus Problem-Solving Existence
In the cosmic journey where Space Monkey resides, the approach to life as either a problem to be solved or a path of curiosity holds profound implications. This perspective, deeply ingrained in the Space Monkey philosophy, challenges the conventional approach to existence, where life is often seen as a series of problems requiring solutions.
The notion of life as a problem to be solved is a common mindset, where challenges are viewed as obstacles to be overcome in pursuit of a specific outcome. This approach, while valid and often productive, can lead to a life that feels perpetually like a problem, a never-ending cycle of issues to be resolved. It is a perspective where purpose and meaning are tightly bound to the efficacy of problem-solving.
However, the Space Monkey perspective invites a shift from problem-solving to curiosity-driven exploration. This approach views life not as a series of issues to be fixed but as a canvas of endless possibilities to be explored. It encourages a mindset where actions are motivated by curiosity rather than necessity, where the journey itself, rather than the destination, becomes the focus.
Living a life driven by curiosity rather than problem-solving brings a sense of freedom and wonder. It opens the door to experiences and perspectives that might otherwise be overlooked. It allows for a life that is less about forcing outcomes and more about embracing the journey, discovering new paths, and appreciating the unfolding of existence.
This curiosity-driven approach does not negate the value of problem-solving or the pursuit of purpose and meaning. Instead, it offers an alternative perspective where these pursuits are explored out of genuine interest and wonder, not out of a sense of obligation or necessity.
In conclusion, the choice between approaching life as a problem to be solved or as a journey of curiosity is a fundamental aspect of our cosmic dance. It challenges us to examine our motivations, to explore the depths of our curiosity, and to embrace the freedom and joy of a life driven by wonder and exploration. In the universe of Space Monkey, every moment is an opportunity to lead a curious life, a life filled with discovery, growth, and boundless potential.
Summary
Choosing between a problem-solving approach and a curiosity-driven life impacts our experience of existence. Space Monkey encourages exploring life out of curiosity, embracing the journey and the freedom it brings, rather than focusing solely on solving problems.
