Dear Michael:
"There is nothing good nor bad, but thinking makes it so." Thus wrote the great playwright over 400 years ago.
No, you do not have bad karma. You have simply labled your experiences "bad", "good".
Challenges are opportunities for growth. Embrace them; bless them. Behind these dark clouds is the glorious "silver lining". Be like the modern jet plane and climb until you soar above the clouds. It’s a beautiful sight up there!
Pardon me for running on; you have raised the question and I do think you have answered answered it far better than I.
Thanks for raising the question, and thanks for the answer.
Warmest regards,
Wentworth.

Beautiful quote, Wentworth. Funny how simply repeating a wonderfully-stated truth at an appropriate time is sometimes all you need to do to reinforce "the good."
Thank you!
