Why do bad things happen?
And why you feel like shit.
“In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds meaning, such as the meaning of sacrifice”.
I’ve touched on this before but I really want to dive into this today. Because I really used to struggle with feeling like I got what I got because I’m a bad person. All the bad things and experiences I’ve had, I used to always believe that I deserved them. Bad grades in school, I got into many car crashes, I injured myself way too many times. I was treated badly in relationships, scolded by my parents. All because of who I was as a person, I believed I had done bad things in my past life and that I was know paying the price of my actions. Like any rebel child, I also stole, I destroyed, I disobeyed. While I grew up I also justified these bad things happening to me because of mistakes I made when I was younger, or this stuff wouldn’t havce happened to me. I realized that couldn’t be farther from the truth. See the thing is, bad things happen to good people. Bad things happen to great people. A lot of the worst things happen to the best people. Now I’m a firm believer, that not everything happens for a reason. I think some things do but not everything. The worst moment in your life, there may not be a reason behind it. It may just be something awful that’s happening to you, and I know it isn’t fair. Life’s not fair…
