It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult. Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and
23、 difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nations. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one
24、. Problems, depending on their natures, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes endless serious problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. Yes, it is
25、in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious tests that tell us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to resol

At that
36、 time women were dependents in the eyes of the law, and they did not have the rights of adults. A woman had no property rights, even over what she had got it from her mother or father or over any wages that she earned. Decisions about family matters and about the children were made by her husband, t
37、he “head of the family“. The first public protests (请愿 ) against the low position of women were made in the 1830 s. In 1848 the leaders of this movement (some of whom were for antislavery(反对奴隶制 ) activities as well) assembled the first Womens Rights Convention, demanding equality. In this struggle a
38、s well as in the long, hard fight for womens vote, those who took part in the activities were laughed at and insulted (侮辱 ). They were said to be immoral (违反伦理的 ), and their ideas were considered dangerous to society. Nevertheless by 1900 women had won the right to vote in several states; and in 192
39、0 the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution granted them the right to vote throughout the United States. By the time many women were attending college, and increasing numbers were entering professions which had before been forbidden to women. A little number of women even held high academic and g
40、overnment positions. In spite of all this progress, “career women“ were largely restricted(受限制 )to teaching, nursing, and office work. The Womens Liberation movement, which developed during the 1960s,has focused on economic rights such as “equal pay for equal work“. In addition some groups have stre
41、ssed psychological and social equality. The main purpose of Womens Liberation to free women from the restricted role which society has given to them. It seeks to enable them to choose between a career and the home or to choose the two. It claims that society as a whole would benefit if every person
42、was allowed to develop his or her abilities and use them to the full. Womens Liberation believes that the statement in the United States Declaration of Independence, “all men are created equal“ really means “all human beings are created equal“. 51 We know from this passage that_ over one hundred sev
