Good and bad things happen because things happen.
If a thing matches the set of x we call bad, then a bad thing has happened, likewise for good. That's just in principle, ofc. In reality, no event is so simple and one dimensional as to be just good, or just bad. We live and make decisions in a reality brimming over with exclusively sub-optimal decision fields. A necessary consequence of being a limited creature in an external environment.
