the best things in life are free. but don't you notice the bad things that just come to your life and w/o warning? come to think of it, the good and bad thinds in life are quite similar. ironic it may seem. but i doubt that there's even a single human being that only has good things in his life, neither is the person who has only the bad things. The happiness is there to take us higher and to give us strength. but the bad things aren't there to make us weak, it makes us strong as well. and these bad things come to us to put us back into place. there must be a balance in everything. but even in the presence of darkness, people must still look at the good things in life. this is what motivates people to move along and to find the light. a wise man once said, "Even in the middle of darkness, God is still there, shining a light upon us. A spotlight it may seem, but it gives direction in our hearts and minds!" so move along and follow that light!

Thank you...the best things in life are free that u reminded me of the stars, moon, oceans, trees, breeze and many others. We feel free in the open with nature around us, a reminder it is free to enjoy. For things that are bad happens to pass our way, we will still appreciate that life has been good and insist on taking the right path.

Hi rickyflair8! :) I also want to add that the best things in life are the choice of the person. Good and bad things happen to us every day. We just have to have the right perspective in dealing with life's matters. If we want good things to come our way and attract them in our lives, we need to develop a habit of feeling good and thinking positive thoughts. :) take care and God bless! \(",)_

That is soooo beautiful! I always make it a point to be optimistic about life. Whenever bad things happen, I try good things that have happened, or the consequences that may come after the bad things. This makes the bad things a lot easier to bear. As they say, "when it rains, it pours", but the sun still shines after the rain. I like to look forward to the sunshine. I like to think that the bad thing has taught me a good lesson. I believe that God loves the human beings He created and I'm pretty sure that He doesn't intend for His creations to have a totally miserable life. Life will never be perfect for anybody. Even the richest person in the world may have the kind of problems I don't ever want to have in my own life. I would rather rejoice and thank God for even the tiniest good thing that happens in a whole day's time and continuously ask Him to spare me from any bad thing, or ask for strength and wisdom to handle whatever bad thing that may come my way, than to spend my time counting the bad things and make this life such a miserable thing to have at all.
