Good time for everything

I've been thinking a lot about the statement 'There's a good time for everything'. Like, is there truly a good time for everything? That's a pretty bold statement. That's saying there's a good time for love, happiness, buying new things. All of these are great. But that also means there's a good time for bad things too, like death or breaking a limb or losing your job. Yeah you can spin it so you see the silver lining (which I usually try to do), but you can take it one step further. By saying there is a good time for anything, you are saying there is a good time for genocide. For hate crimes. For murdering someone in cold blood. I wouldn't say there's a good time for these. Never.

I understand the premise of the saying is to basically say "there's a silver lining in every situation" but at the same time I can't understand how these are the same. To me they are different sayings with different interpretations. One is an excuse, whereas the other is just simply looking for positive outlooks on every situation. We can't go through life making excuses for ourselves or for other people. People need to take responsibility for their actions while looking for the silver lining. Looking for the positives isn't making excuses - it's better problem solving. It's common sense. At least, that's this guys opinion on it.

That's all for now,
Ryan
