Bad News

Every now and then the news isn’t good. When this happens we can engage in finding fault or playing the blame game, but such a reaction only delays or obscures reality.

Bad news is just as much a part of life as good news. We don’t have to celebrate the arrival of bad news, but the sooner we come to grips with its presence the quicker we move on with “what is.”

I have lived a pretty long time, and have learned that what may appear to be bad news might develop into good news. Things occur, it doesn’t do us much good to label them at first.

  1. Makes me think of “no news is good news”!
    Maybe just my age but I find periods with no news to be very uplifting; everybody seems to know too much – were we better off when we knew so little? That might be the salient question!?!
