Does everything have a drawback?
Within the briefest time period I experienced the following three situations:
1. A bank employee, in telling someone about investments, concluded her generally very positive remarks with the sentence "The problem with this way of investing is that it can't predict the market course."
2. The thoroughly inviting description of a picturesque walking tour along a volcano concluded, "The drawback of this route is that you could easily lose your way and your sense of direction in the clouds that come up suddenly."
3. In the discussion of a new park plan for an inner-city area it was said, "In spite of many good points, the residents and delivery trucks will be at a great disadvantage."
It almost seems that everything good has a negative side. And it often seems necessary to ask about drawbacks. Pros and cons, good and evil, seem sometimes to belong together like brothers and sisters. And as a popular saying states, "Where there is light, there is also shadow."
