CHAPTER 10:
Kurt Vonnegut |
Tragic and terrible things happen to good and innocent people and unfortunately, we cannot always stop this from happening. As Vonnegut says on page 211, "if I am going to spend eternity visiting this moment and that, I'm grateful that so many of those moments are nice." There are so many bad things that happen in life. However, if we focus only on those bad things, then we miss out on the good.
The past, the present, and the future are all equally important. Everything that happens to us has an impact on our lives. The past and future events are no more important than the present nor is the present more important than the past or future. If something bad happens now, something good will happen later. If something good happens now, something bad will happen later. But life will always continue.
I like this connection you made. It is true that horrible things happen to good people.
