Bad things happen quickly

Rather than looking at the bad things that happen quickly, I’d like to focus on the good things (happiness), just because I’m optimistic like that ;) .

When something good happens the effect lingers for longer however when something bad happens we try and find a solution to fix it immediately. Good things take time. The following words found from my search on google – say it better than I ever could:

“When we think about the things that alter our lives in a moment, nearly all of them are bad: phone calls in the night, accidents, loss of jobs or loved ones, conversations with doctors bearing awful news. Virtually all the happiness-producing processes in our lives take time, usually a long time: learning new things, changing old behaviors, building satisfying relationships, raising children. This is why patience and determination are among life’s primary virtue.”
