Try to always remember that bad things must exist so that good things can exist. Without bad things, we cannot have good things. This is called duality or inter-being in Buddhism. Take water as one example. It causes trees to grow that we use to build our houses, but it can also cause wood to rot and decay. Water gives life, but it also takes it away. If rot and decay were to disappear, we could not have solid wood to use and enjoy. We can replace rotting wood and rebuild houses when they decay. Everything will be OK. Both good and bad things are part of life. They need each other.
