Well, i think that things don't ALWAYS go in the wrong direction, it's just we don't really praise the good things that happen in life. We don't really think about the good things in life, we only think about the things we don't want to happen.
I think it has to do with the shape of the earth, Nothing happens the way it's supposed to . The magnetic fields of the earth grab on to things we try to do and they get lost on the way , pulled and pushed in a way we have no control on anything, unless you hold your mouth just right.
Cause, no matter how you look at it nobody has complete control over their life. I know for me things usually turn from bad to worse when I allow someone else to be a part of my life. You can't control who you work with or their actions, you can't control the actions of others it is that simple. The statement that this is a dog eat dog world has never been truer than it is right now. ;-)
Because your not or others are not doing the right things to make it right,but as you receive those rights and do the right thing as life goes on also pray. Them things will happen as you believe. But hey its life its not fare and no one ever gets what they want.
