Is there positivity in every situation?

Question

can you tell me a traumatic event from your past (or someone else's) that has a positive side or has made a positive effect on today?

Answer 1

Can you separate south pole from north pole
in a magnet?

The Hindu Upanishads say that positivity and
negativity are part of every thing in creation.
They are like day and night. You can not
separate one from the other. From personal
knowledge and understanding, people try to
overestimate one and underestimate the
other.

Answer 2

Every event has a positive and a negative side. For example, war is something very bad, but if it's a war for the independence or the unity of a state or a people, it's definitely positive. Or, the death of a parent. My father passed away three years ago, may God rest his soul, and it was a tragedy for our whole family, but this tragedy made us realize some things, that you cannot take anything for granted in life, that you must appreciate and cherish everything that you have and everyone that you "have" - that you have around you, your mom, your dad, your brothers, sisters, your friend etc. This way, you grow up. You know, they say, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. It's true. All the bad things that happen to a person, upto a point of course, have a positive efect on that person; he/she becomes stronger and more mature and more responsible.

Answer 3

When I was thirteen I broke my left arm, it healed but I can not raise it over my head. As I grew older I bailed hay which has to be thrown through a small window above my head. How can I do it? With every flaw of your body you adapt. I am right handed but I can eat, write and do very intricate work with my left hand. It has take me years to learn but God has a reason for everything, a lot of time we can not see it for we are to close. Like you can't see the forest for the trees. I have had several bones broken or cracked but I have to adapt or die and right now I'm not ready. If you need more I'm Coop. Now I know how my nephew feels when he preaches.

Answer 4

Yes, you might not realize it right now, but after the storm has passes and the sun shines, everything seems a little lighter and easier.

To every problem there is a solution, if there isn't one, find one under the sun. If there aint a solution, then why worry.... juss chill....

Life will always take its twists and turns.... play the game, don't judge the umpire.... :)

Answer 7

i studied in hindi medium school up to V standard. my father was a govt. official and on his transfer to the new place he got me admitted in sixth standard in an english medium school. i was riduled by other students as i was almost zero in the language. i was very upset and came back home crying. it was a negative situation. but it gave me an opportunity to challenge the other students. i began reading english language stories and later novels and also began conversation only in english regardless of mistakes. very soon i was on the top hot only in english but in all subjects. this single experience has inspired me to strive for excellence in all waks of life. i advise everybody not to be satisfied with mediocrity but attempt excellence.
