“In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.”—Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Sometimes we must ask the question, “Why not?”, instead of “Why?” when bad things happen in our lives. (For some, we must learn to ask, “Why not?” when good things happen, as well.) Good or bad, it is less about why something happened and more about how we will respond—what good will come from it. How will we allow our circumstances to impact the Universe? As insignificant as we might perceive ourselves and our effect on others, we do affect the world in ways we rarely perceive. Good or bad is inevitable. How we respond is a matter of personal choice and responsibility.
