Things could be better but actually they could also be worse. Our experiences take us forward along the pathway of living, so it is never what is happening that counts it is always how we deal with it. For some our ‘worse’ would appear like a blessing as our ‘better’ would seem like everything was going wrong. Therefore, as you look at the different situations unfold see what you learn from it, how you feel can be advancement because of what is transpiring.  Then perhaps you would understand that there is not better or worse there is just what is happening at the moment.
