Answer:
Explanation:
This is another kind of iffy question. We should make sure that you tell us that this is a question that is school related. I'm answering it because I think it is, but if a mod disagrees, it's going to be deleted.
You know, the answer really depends on how you see what's around you. Good things happening to you can also be life altering. If you have a good relationship with someone and it breaks up, everything depends on how you see that.
Are you grateful for it happening at all, or does it make you miserable? As you mature, that question become of paramount importance. The same question applies to anything you want to bring up. I find that the older I get, the more similarities I see between disasters and the effects they have on me. I finally, about 6 years ago, honed in on the one that meant the most (to me) -- the Holocaust created by Nazi Germany. I have spent a great many hours on it. It was life altering. I had (and still have) trouble understanding why exactly it came about. In the end, about 1/2 the Jewish population in Europe was snuffed out. What bothered me as much as anything is that it was mechanized: it was done scientifically from finding the Jews to getting rid of the bodies. All of it was so very systematic.
One of my conclusions was that morality did not keep up with science. Just because a scientific method existed, didn't mean it should have been used.
But just so you know, there is something else that is happened to me in my life. Thank God I could feel the depth of it: my first girl friend. That was earth shaking.
And my current life. I'm 81. I am kept alive by the diligence and perseverance of a group of scientists, that I, unfortunately, will never meet. I have Leukemia. Their medication keeps me alive. It is painless (or I am not in any pain). I have been on it for 27 months. My wife died of the same thing which makes me wonder if there is a virus involved.
So you see it is not only the big things that make us grateful. It is the many little things that add up to the way we see life.
