The one you will choose first is....

Dear friends,
Which one do you choose first?

If such a situation arises ( hope not) when there is good and bad news had to be conveyed at the same time...which one do you choose to hear first, the good news or the bad news?

From my side...I like to hear the good news first, as this good vibe will help us to tolerate what the bad news has in store for us...

How about you all????

Bad news first. So when i am upset with it, after that the good news will be like comforting and a silver lining.

hi,

I'll go with the bad news first and then the good news, so that the last news helps us to calm a little bit for what has been left amongst the lost.

Hi swarnalatha and cindhuja,

Seems like you all want the bad things (or news) to get over first so that we can enjoy the good things, true, I accept it..

Hi Srini,

Knowing the goods news first may be a positive approach. But i cant hold on to my nerves till i get to know the bad news. Suspense kills me!
Even in life, i wouldn't mind going through a bad patch for appreciating the good ones to come.

Cheers!!

Dear Srini,

Give me the bad first then the good. An icecream after bittergourd is welcome!!

Love,
Devika

Roshini,
Your approach got me the idea of positive approach like expecting the light at the end of the tunnel..

Devika,
I liked the eg. of icecream after the bittergourd..
The majority of views till now, makes me think twice before I choose...

Dear Sriniketan M'am,

Bad things (news) will be my first preference so that I can take it easily and face the Good things (news) with whole heartedly ... Else, I can't be happy with good things (news) at first as I will worried about the bad news which will be on my mind ...

Hi Bhargavi,

For me, the bad news first...and then the good !!

That way, we can get over with the unfavorable feeling and anxiety !

We are now ready to feel better..in a way..the good news masks and reduces the negative effect on us ! :)

Cheers

Suni,
so you too join with others in this matter...pulalukku pin amadhi...is very apt here.

Krithika,
I also thought that way, but on hearing the bad news first,( in my opinion) it will overshadow the happy news, the good news has to convey...but looking at your and other ilites opinion, I had to change that opinion of mine...
good to know about the other side of the coin...
