Obviously there is, you just refuse to recognize it. I think this war is terrible, Trump is the worst president of American history by a wide margin, and yet, I can still be happy that we are able to glean insight from learnings that came about as a result of forces not under my control.

Finding good among the bad is such a commonplace occurrence that my native tongue, English, has many metaphors for it. I already mentioned making lemons into lemonade; there is also "every cloud has a silver lining," "every dog has his day," "light at the end of the tunnel," and "April showers bring May flowers"

I suspect you would respond, "but Mayflowers brought genocidal white settlers!!!!"

That's your problem, not mine.

As a Mayflower descendant I would scarcely say that. But the fact that you offer cheap platitudes and tales from hundreds of years ago to justify why it's OK to consider why the current bombing and slaughter is good for our work-life balance remains astonishingly tone-deaf. This is absolutely a you problem.
