When things go from bad to worse, why do you think when it rains it pours?

Question

Why do you think so many problems come at once?

Answer 1

Oh, that's old satan looking at us and realizing that we are caught in a weak moment and instead of fighting him back and showing him where he belongs - we fall under the weight of the first couple of negatives and more will come....it's that old Murphy's law theory....we have to learn to reverse those things that appear to be brought upon us to tear us down. Hold your head up, smile and laugh and keep moving in the positive. Surround yourself with positive people and make positive confirmations to yourself about your situation. When we resist the devil, he has to flee! It's only because we succumb to his stupid evil ways and start being depressed, crying, he whips us even more...Just remember these two statements from the Word - "he will never leave you or forsake you" and "when I walk THROUGH the valley of the SHADOW of death - I will fear no evil. You're walking through - you are not camping out - and it's ONLY A SHADOW. Not the real thing....(smile)

Answer 2

I really do not think they do. I believe this is like an "Optical Illusion".

Some people think that : "All motorcycles are noisy".

That's because you do not hear the quiet ones.

And also, when you are waiting for a bus, it might seem like all the buses are going in the opposite direction from the one you want.

But that's because, the first bus "going your way", you get on.
Then, you don't see the 5 other busses behind you.

So also with problems. You see one, and you remember all the past similar problems. You also are more sensitized to look for the negative all around you..

This seems to be how our mechanical brains are wired.

And the Dianetics/Scientology people call this phenomenon "Engrams".

Answer 3

I believe it's to make you stronger, like a test. I ask God to go pick on someone else, I don't think he hears my prayers? The way LIFE is? I guess it is what you take and learn from the crazy stuff that happens is your experience. "Strength"

Answer 4

It is a streak of bad luck. Unfortunately, the only way to beat it is to keep your chin up, and eventually, the dark cloud will pass, dont let it tear you down.
I know it is very hard, things for me are the same way, if I could only practice what I preach.
Hang in there !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

Because when we have one problem, we become more aware that other problems are going on as well - and usually one problem, does include other problems that have to be resolved as well. So, it seems like if there is one, there are several.

Answer 6

To make us stronger people. If we DON'T learn from the little, easy trials, then we have to have worse,stronger, harder trials to get to us so we learn from our ways and actions. Some times a little SHOVE don't get to us so we have to get KNOCKED DOWN to get our attention and it"s when we get knocked down, that we FINALLY LOOK UP FOR HELP.

Answer 7

I don't know why, but it does. I'm in a bit of a badness downpour at the moment.

Answer 8

I wish I knew!!!
