It's nice to know that things are looking up for others as well, these days. New unions, new babies, new jobs, and new lives to be started. As with everything else in life, each of these positive things is attached to a resulting end or negative action. In order to stay happy, we think the positiveness of the new thing outweighs the negativeness of the resulting end.

It is all a matter of perspective. As a society, we put more emphasis on the good and bad events on life when really, they are all the same. We try to think it's good because the nice feelings one feels from such an event is greater than the feelings one feels in conjunction with the bad aspect of the situation. If one feeds into the bad feelings, then the situation or event would be considered bad.

However, people seem to live for the thrills. It's a roller coaster ride and the rushes or high points are the good times and the valleys or low points are the bad. But it's really all just a matter of perspective, because if one thinks of the anticipation occurring when you reach a valley, anticipating the peaks and rushes, it's really not all that bad............ right?

Sometimes our eyes play tricks on us, or perhaps it's our minds, warping our perception......
