Why Do Bad Things Happen?

Sinned
By Sinned

It's unproductive to try to explain why bad things happen. The "why" question generally lends itself to finding fault, someone to blame. Often, that someone is ourselves and we feel guilt over the event(s) that we imagine caused the bad thing to happen, such as I wasn't good enough or I'm so dumb.

On the other hand, it's also not productive to pretend the bad thing either isn't bad after all or didn't happen. It won't go away if ignored. Instead it will sink below the level of consciousness and continue to trouble in a stealth mode, with bad dreams and depression.

the question is ....
What you can do when bad things happen??

forget the bad things...We all only have one life. It is up to us to really enjoy it. Imagine becomming very old and wishing you had enjoyed your life more. We hurry through our daily life, always busy, but we never seem to stop and just enjoy living. Please, take the time to enjoy things. Don't let your life tick away. Find the time to stop and smell a flower, watch a sunset, walk in the rain without your umbrella. Find the time to appreciate this great gift of life that we have. Share some happiness with your friends. Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories... So, don't forget to make time and take opportunities to make memories everyday. When I am old, I want to look back and remember that I did have a wonderful life.

sinned I want to applogize, I am myself going through very hard and uncertain times, some people are ruining my life and may sabotage my livehood though I don't remember doing any harm to any one before..I keep on asking myself the same question everyday, and your post about bad things came in the middle of a gloomy morning, and I thought of laughing myself out of it by writing this silly comment :)))).....I hope you get over whatever bad times you are having right now...

Well when something bad happens to me, I acknowledge the problem, think logically about it and try to find a solution. Ofcourse inbetween all this there's the "I hate everyone" and "Life sucks!" phrases,talking to my friends for support (sometimes just talking about it helps), coming to QL to take the piss on someone, and listening to music to get the rage out of my system :-)

"you can do many things:

-resort to drugs

-get drunk everyday

-turn to relegion and become a fanatic, and later a terrorist

-have sex with every moving creature

-troll people in QL and turn their lives into hell

and of course there is always the good old fashioned suicide"

Let's see, yup, yup, nope, yup, yup, not yet. LOL kidding.

There are three important steps to take that will help you deal productively with a bad thing that happens in your life.

Accept without blame or guilt:

Embrace the new situation as part of you:

Change it by looking for the opportunity within:

....bad things happen, i pray and i pray ...Accept that it happened and that it is indeed a bad event.Embrace the negative event without approving of it. Accept that it is now a part of your life. This doesn't mean you have to like it, nor welcome it. But accept that it's now with you. Not forever, but for now.

smile,

well sinned, bad things happen for a reason..either you have to learn a lesson the hard way or it is a consequence of every choice you made...

what do i do when bad things happen..honestly, i dwell too much..i mean i spend time thinking why such things happen...i cry and think on my little corner until im all done..then try to get back on my feet (which is btw, hard..it comes on stages)..a lot of time to rethink and try to moving on..and sometimes, charging it to experience gives me this outlook to move on..
