Penny for your Thoughts...

My mind is pondering over a random thought / question this morning...

Is it better to have bad events/things/situations happen all at once or spread out over a longer period of time?
I understand this is more of a hypothetical question, but I sure wish the answer could be yes / no, black / white, left / right...well you get the picture.

I see it like this:
If everything bad happens at the same time, then you get the pain over with faster and move on.  However, at the time, you will be extremely overwhelmed and exhausted.

On the other hand, if the bad is spread out over time then it doesn't feel like the walls are caving in all at once, but you have to endure the pain longer and could feel like it is never going to end.

So, the question again is - which is better??  A penny for your thoughts this morning...

  1. Are bad events/things/situations happening to you? Sometimes I don't realize how bad things are until they are over and things are good again. Then I look bad and think "that sucked". Sorry if you are going through something rough right now.

  2. I would want everything to happen at once I think... then you could just get it all over with and move on.

    Hope this isn't happening to you right now! If so, hang in there!!

  3. Sort of...but not necessarily to me. Was just something I was thinking about this morning on my way into work. I agree - I'm thinking all at once would be best too!
