Life is really mysterious, and things are not really as they seem to be and beyond every happening there is a reason for it and ultimately the consequence is positive. The problem is some of the phenomena or happenings are not analyzable.

Let us see how losses are not really losses and they have gains within them grained.

You lost yourself to your parents you got affection and care. You lost yourself to your father you got security and he walled you against any possible threats. You lost to a woman or a man you got love and he or she gave you children. He or she fathered or mothered your children and supported you and accompanied you in all situations.

You lost yourself to a teacher you got education, and you lost to an employer you got a job and money. If you do not shed your youthfullness despite the fact that this is really thrilling to be young, loved and jubilant and to age is despised, yet without shedding your youth you can be a man of maturity and everyone wants to be matured.

Even death has something in store for you, for it opens the door to you to let you see otherworldliness.

Every happening, every phenomenon in nature has some utility and has something to benefit you.

Because the center of the universe is nothing and no other than you.

I agree: for one, grief makes us new, it is a growing experience. It is an unpopular idea, because then you are saying that bad things can be good things, and to a lot of people this makes you a bad person. Even though people profess to value seeing good in everything, they do not appreciate someone to see the good in something they see in bad. Like a death, for instance; anyone's death. It's taboo to show joy at death, even though I feel it is a natural reaction: where there is death, there is new life, and new life is a joyful occasion.
