The greatest and most important problems in life
are all in a certain sense insoluble.
They must be so because they express the necessary polarity
inherent in every self-regulating system.
They can never be solved, but only outgrown...
This "outgrowing"...on further experience
was seen to consist of a new level of consciousness.
Some higher or wider interest arose on a person's horizon,
and through this widening of his view
the insoluble problem lost its urgency...
What, on a lower level, had led to the wildest conflicts
and to panicky outburst of emotion,
viewed from a higher level of the personality,
now seemed like a storm in the valley
seen from a high mountain-top.
This does not mean that the thunderstorm is robbed of its vitality,
but instead of being in it one is now above it.
-Carl Jung
