"Things" are never inherently worng or bad, it depends on the way we use them.
To put it bluntly: some people use a knife to cut pasta and others to kill.
Some people use hash for medical purpose and others to loose control of themselves.
Some people use Grindr to hook up, and others to chat in their spare time.
Please don't think I am trying to give examples of good and bad uses in general. (i.e.) It is not that I think hooking up is bad. Thats something we could discuss further, but that is not for me. To me hooking up it's like wanting to have a vegetable garden but going to Sainsbury's every now and then. Anyway that would do for another full post.
I know it might sound quite simple and basic, but I think the concept here is quite important. If we look at the sentence closely, it means that what we use to produce something negative, can be turned into something positive. Again not the object but the outcome.
Its like the concept of rubbish. Something that in nature doesn't exist.
Recycling is something integrated in life. Rubbish is just a concept with bad connotations. Here we should look at it in a circular way. Its something that comes back again and again.
Its not linear.
I suggest thinking twice about the bad and good distinctions we do in our daily lives. I think the suggestion here is to look at things in a different way. From a new perspective.
Here we have an example of something with bad connotations turned into something positive.
This picture of a chair was taken from a tumblr called crap = good. Here something that in our society is perceived as negative (crap), in this title, its claimed that equals good. The same happens with the chair. An old bathtub has a new function, a new meaning.
