There is no Good or Bad

People always ask: Do you want the good news or bad news first?
Master Wu Gui from Kungfu Panda said: There is only news. There is no good or bad.

Do you accept and agree? Is it possible for news to not be good or bad? Well, there is neutral news, I guess, but that is coz we have the need to categorise.

But in reality, is there a need to categorise. We categorise everything in our lives. Skinny, fat, tall, short, rich, poor....the list can go on. Is there duality in everything? What about the greys?

Anyway, to put it simply, and look at it from only the black and white perspective, why should something be good or bad. What is it actually that we are attributing the goodness or badness to? There is a lack of inherent existence, so how can any "thing" be good or bad?

Use for example a watch. What is good about that watch? The needles, the quartz crystal, the strap or the face? We do not tend to distinguish so much when we say that that is a good watch. but it does warrant thought, because the watch is not just merely a watch. A watch is thus named due to the need for a label. A label for humans to classify. A watch is so much more. The sum of its components. So is it the sum that is good? But isn't the goodness due to its components? So the sum isn't good???

The sum in this case isnt real, as the watch by itself has no "substance". It is just a label, still made up of its individual components.

The watch, and everything (possibly) on this earth/world/universe, are all interdependent. Dependent on its components. And those components are dependent on other components. Hence we and everything around us, are interdependent.

So why should we tag a good or bad to anything if it is all inter-related? There will be no good or bad if there were no comparisons.

there is only news. there is no good or bad...
