If Its Not Love, Then Its The Bomb That Will Keep Us Together

Soundtrack: Jason Mraz- Life Is Wonderful

Its funny how it takes something bad to see something good. I dont know if its because most of us go through life and take things for granted, or we are just brush off and dont act on things until it is right in front of our face (maybe those were the same things just said differently).

Take for example a little incident that occured in New Orleans a few years ago, Hurricane Katrina. Its easy to see a lot of bad in the situation, I mean lots of people lots their lives, families were turn apart, and the nation went to war. But good did come out of the situation. Much of America came together and showed support for people in need, people took a second to appreciate how grateful they were to be alive, and how much they love the people around them.

It can be applied to many relationships as well. A lot of times people say that after their first big fight with their significant other that they feel much closer to the person. Its like it takes a fight to see that you actaully love the person. Maybe you realized it before but that fight makes it that much clearer that wow I really love this person.

Another example is just thinking of the fact of losing a loved one. People always worry that the person will go and that they didnt get a chance to say goodbye or that they loved the person. The bad thought of losing that person, brings on a positive reaction of taking that person for granted less.

I realized recently, that having things a little bad once in a while isnt exactly that bad. No I shouldnt take things for granted. But bad does make you appreciate the good a little more. Having things bad can serve as a learning experience for having a good future.

So is bad really that bad? Or is bad a little good?
