Why do our blessings sometimes seem as disasters for us?


"There is no disaster that can't become a blessing, and no blessing that can't become a disaster"-Richard Bach


Though already considered as a cliche, the phrase "Everything happens for a reason" still applies to this situation. All of us are blessed in some way but those are really "meant" for us. There comes a point in our lives where random blessings cross our paths; random meaning incidental. We are blinded by those blessings and we instinctively think that we are lucky for receiving those. Unfortunately, not all blessings are meant to be blessings.

One moment you are at the top and the next thing you know, you're about to crash.

Life is full of disguises and secrets. Some people experience blessings and then later on fall into a pit of disaster thereby making them blame the blessing they previously received. It is true. Blessings do bring forth disasters at times. But AGAIN, our life is most of the time in disguise. To put it simply, blessings become disasters because it is a way for the person to experience or receive an even greater blessing than the previous one. We undergo disasters and blessings hand in hand because they come together.

Thus, blessings may turn out to be misfortunes, and misfortunes blessings. They change from one to the other endlessly.

Every dark cloud has a silver lining.

The flip side of a coin is just as true. When we encounter something that counts as an opportunity or a blessing, we need not let ourselves get carried away, to the point where we become blind to the adversities that are behind that blessing.

"Misfortune is what fortune depends upon

Fortune is where misfortune hides beneath

Yin contains yang; yang contains yin. Every failure harbors the hidden seed of future success; every triumph contains the covert cause of future defeat."
