So I have this really cool roommate named Morgan and we always have the most random and deep conversations. Our conversations topics range from talking about relationships, religion, and philosophy. I have a psychological view of issues while she has a scientific view, and we learn from each other's perspectives to get a better understanding of issues.
Today one of our discussions was about the concept good v.s bad. Even when things seem bad, the outcome of a situation can't be qualified as good or bad because these are comparative terms. You will never know what the alternative outcome would have been so you have nothing to compare your current situation to. The concepts of good and bad are based on opinions anyways, not on facts. What could be good for one person could be bad for another person or bad on a greater scale. No perception is more valid than another . The way I see it, good things can come from bad situations because of the lessons you learn from it. At first you may think something that happened was bad, but later you may have a different perspective. Everything that has happened to you, whether you think it was good or bad, has helped you become who you are today. If you don't like who you are, you can fix that by changing the way you look at what is good and bad.
