When things begin to go bad, the perception of people makes it worse.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you do bad things, bad things happen to you.
People tend to believe the bad rather than the good.
There are a lot of ups and downs. But there are always people who have it worse.
A lot of people deal with things that are bad. Once you've been through something, you grow from it and you take a lot in. You can always turn it into something positive.
People tend to dwell more on negative things than on good things. So the mind then becomes obsessed with negative things, with judgments, guilt and anxiety produced by thoughts about the future and so on.
Very few people do bad things because they're bad. They generally do bad things because they think they're the right thing to do, but they're misplaced.
Anyone can identify with those moments in life where circumstances or people inform us that we've strayed from the path of our better nature and intentions. We know what that's like, and we resist it - so as not to feel like we're bad people.
Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better.
Everything bad happens to set up something good. I've always found that to be true. I think if most folks look back on the history of their lives, they'll see that.
When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.
