English term

everything would be set

English to Spanish Art/Literary Religion
For years when I was young and in politics with all my hopes and dreams and ambitions, it seemed to me and to many of my contemporaries that if we got an age where we had good housing, good education, a reasonable standard of living, then ***everything would be set*** and we should have a fair and much easier future. We know now that that is not so. We are up against the real problems of human nature. Why is it that we have child cruelty in this age? Why is it that we have animal cruelty? Why is it that we have violence? … Why is it that people take to terrorism? Why is it that people take to drugs? These are much, much more difficult problems. … Why, when you have got everything, do some people turn to those fundamental things which undermine the whole of civilization?

todo estaría resuelto

Tal vez existan varias maneras de entender la frase pero me parece una buena opción.
