Bad Is Good!


Seems I have a thing for paradoxes. Anyway, I was going through my notes on facebook and I found this paradox from 2011. Hope you also enjoy it.

Bad Is Good
Infection is good, it makes us healthier
Failure is good, it makes us know success
Poverty is good, it makes us value wealth
Sin is good, it makes us see our need for God
Death is good, it brings evil and mortality to an end
Crying is good, it brings relief to our heart
Anger is good, it makes us express our mind
Falling is good, it makes us realise something 'trips' us

Pain is good, it makes you realize something is amiss (in your body)
Slander is good, it makes us review who we are, and aren't
Gossip is good, it makes us realise our friends, and our true friends
Bad behaviour is good, it exposes our thoughts to others
Bad habit is good, it shows us we have learnt something
Temptation is good, it shapes our character
Examination is good, it show us what we yet don't know
Falling is good, it makes us value what's underneath us
(the ‘ground’ that holds our feet)

Yes, there's good in every bad
It only depends on your perspective
The attitude you carry is what matters most in life
Not what happen to you, or who's against you
For eventually you can make bad become good
Only if you first see the good in it
And seek to make good, your bad
