Does good eventually come out of everything?

Question

Does good eventually come out of everything?

Answer 1

I would say no because if it did, then 'bad' has no meaning.  If everything eventually turns good, then bad isn't really 'bad' it's just the period of time before 'good'.

You could change YOUR perspective so that you see good in everything, but I don't think that's quite the same thing.

Answer 2

No, because that would mean our world is slowly growing into a perfect society, with everything "good" growing at an exponential rate. However, as things work right now, that's not the case. It's even arguable that our society's moral standards are slowly deteriorating, and that our definition of "good" has been corrupted.  

Answer 3

"eventually" is the key word, but yes, I would think so.

Answer 4

We are given challenges, heart break, pain, we face so many things.  Most of which appear to be bad, some appear to be good, and some are just what they are.  I have learned as of recent that we don't know why, we ask why, we wonder.  However in the end, we grow, we learn, and we eventually conquer, therefore yes, good does come out of it.  We are just wise enough to see what is before us, not what lessons we have learned☆

Answer 5

Not always. Nature demands a homeostatic result. So it really depends on what is meant by 'good'. That is a subjective label that we place on things, events, etc. The determinant is not for us but for nature to decide.

Answer 6

Good may eventually manifest itself, but that doesn't mean it comes from bad.

Answer 7

Nope.

Answer 8

ya, i spend all night waiting for mr hankey to come up from the toilet

Answer 9

Defining good is quite complex. However just to use it as a generalized term, nothing is 'Good' or 'Bad'. Good or bad in itself don't exist but rather are the manifestation of our 'Intent'. Intent determines the outcome.

You can use a knife to slice onions or to kill somebody. The outcome is determined by the 'intent', once implemented results in the manifestation of Good or Bad!

Answer 10

It's a nice thought, isn't it? But if good came out of everything, there would be no use for the word "bad." An example: A band of relentless murderers pillaged their way through a town, slaughtering thousands of innocent citizens. On their way out of the city, they fell into a deep pit and died of blood loss. What good came out of that?

Answer 11

Yes, it does. It's a painful ride before you get there, life tries to fling you off every now and then, but I'm hangin' on with all my might.

Answer 12

No I don't think so, what good can come from someone being murdered? Nothing good come from that.
