too deep for my own good?

Have you ever thought that the bad things that happen only seem bad at the time.. or to you.. that maybe somewhere in the big old scheme of life that it really wasn’t a bad thing… or at least not all bad? That maybe somehow there is good to come from it?? Maybe we just don’t or can’t understand what that good is?

Not sure where all this deep philosophising is coming from…. maybe all the rain we have had and now the brilliant sunshine is going to me head!

When life throws you a curve ball..it’s not hard to start analysing everything!! Take your time and digest it all… Anytime you want a joint analytical session..you know I’m up for it at the moment ;-)

Hehehehehe, am loving these post topics!!!

Michele Foulcault argues that good and bad are only what they are perceived to be. There is no objective good and bad. It is how we experience and view things… You can always find some good in the bad if you look… The thing is, when you’re perceiving yourself to be in a bad situation, you don’t really want to see that there is any good in it, because you’re grieving the loss of your dream, your ideal, whatever that was at the time…

To look back on something bad and see that it was good, or that it wasn’t all bad, doesn’t mean it wasn’t bad at the time, it just means you’re perception of the situation has changed with more information, or distance of emotion, etc…

LOL, this is what first led me to Paganism (from Christianity)… My mum (who I wasn’t getting along with at the time), used to lament that we wouldn’t spend eternity together in heaven (due to my lack of faith on my part)… For her, us spending eternity together was heaven, for me it sounded more like hell…

Now, it wouldn’t be hell, just pergatory…

I believe everything happens for the best. It may not seemso at the time but ultimately it is revealed to be so.

In general everyone gets their share of good and bad luck. I see life a bit like scaling a cliff. When the bad luck comes you have to hold on for grim death and not fall down too far . When your luck turns you climb like mad and make the best of it.
