Before you tell me I live in a dream world, let me give you some examples.
1. Is there darkness?
Darkness does not exist. Darkness is just the absense of light. At the infinite extreme there is a place where there is no light. From there onwards we can just add light. How do we make it darker in a room for example? We limit light from entering.
2. Is ther such a thing as cold?
Again the answer is no. There is just absense of heat. At zero degrees Kelvin there is absolutely no heat. How do we make it colder, we take away the heat or suck it out. How does an air conditioner work? It takes the heat out of the media and then blows wind over the 'cold'
3. Evil? Bad?
The absense of good.
We can go through all the good attributes too. Greed is the absense of sharing. Hate is the absense if love, jealousy is the absense of trust. And we can go on.
Where am I going with this? Just this, there is always a bright side, positive outcome, don't dwell on the lack, look for the abundance.
When we are dealing with people, look for the good, the kindness, etc. it is there and maybe it is up to you to add the 'light' in their 'darkness' the warmth in their cold, the good to their bad. Even in your own life you can make it better by concentrating on the 'good' rather than the 'bad'. Then, be grateful for it rather than blaming the absence of it.
