This address point A of the steps in handling a situtation which is typically classifed as bad.
A. Delink your emotion from the result in front of you. Emotions cloud our thinking.
B. Brutally anlayze the facts
C. Based on the facts and anlaysis, go do the right thing.

This post does not address B and C. People usually know how to do B&C.

Thanks for your thoughts. I think somehow the english seems to convey that “Bad things also could be good so don’t do anything about it.”

The post is who you feel/think about something. I did not say don’t act. Maybe last sentence go to sleep is misleading. I should have finished it “Go and sleep peacfully and look at situation do something about full of energy”.

Please read the previous comment also here.

1) The first stage is getting maturity that when some bad things happens, realize that “could have happened for good”, This realization depends on many factor like experience / brought up etc. If it is through experience, it may take years for example after a particular bad incident happened, a person may start thinking/realizing that it had happened for good after 2 years of the incident or 5 years or may even 10 years later or could never realize in his life time and keep on asking / blaming “Why only me”?

2) In the second stage. Life is teaching people at their different age of life and give them maturity on how to look at bad things.
2.1) Declaring bad as “BAD” and console our self saying it has happened / could have happened for good. This is from our prior experience / had realized in past some bad has turned out to be good.
2.2) Though we console our self that “bad is for good cause”, the declaration status of the incident is still “BAD”. Only if bad is declared as “BAD” it can be prevented in the future.

3) In the third stage, after consoling our self for years that “bad is for good cause” we tend to ignore bad things. Which means we don’t prevent them in future. We slowly get into a stage of not declaring incidents as “BAD” or “GOOD”. Getting into this stage may take years or even births.

4) if we don’t declare Good/Bad for incidents in our life, we can neither prevent “BAD” nor wish “GOOD. We don’t have any drive/focus in the life to go for. So what next?

Dont get into trap. If you look for one day sleep by consoling yourself bad is for good cause, you will finally end up with no drive in life.

Personally I don’t believe in Krishna or god. But there are tenets of Gita I do appreciate.

Yes the basic point is good/bad needs to be looked at neutrally without emotinally getting drained and focus on action that can be taken.

The practical part of doing is so difficult. The post is an excercise of what we can go through mentally to realign our thinking so our heart feels light and peacful for us to take next practical steps.

I would also like to point another quote from gita.. krishan says, he is the good, and he is the bad.. both good and bad are the aspect of the eternal god.. can this mean, what you have said.. the thing that appears to good to us may be a bad for others and viceversa.. since god is common to all he is neutral to good and bad..
