I know life can feel heavy, and sometimes it's easy to get lost in the shadows, but all shadows exist because of the light. In that spirit, I thought we could play a little game of positive thinking. You don't have to feel positive to play, but it might help you feel that way if you do.
The idea is that one poster will post a "negative" scenario, and the following poster has the job of seeing what good could come from such circumstances. Use your imagination and let the positive narrative flow naturally and with a bit of sincerity, if you don't mind.
And then the same poster will post a negative situation for the following poster to re-frame.
Here's an example to start us. They can be really heavy or relatively trivial. It's up to you.
Negative scenario: The corona virus ultimately is devastating economically in addition to significant loss of human life. The status-quo is upended and there is great global uncertainty and dread.
Re-frame : With the passage of time, humanity learns that nothing of real value was lost other than some creature comforts and a false sense of security. As a result, the world "shrinks" and we come together in a way that has been missing for so long and we regain that sense of interconnectedness and community that we have been lacking. Life might be less comfortable in some ways, but people are ultimately happier than they've ever been, on the whole.

Ok that's an example. Here is the scenario for the first poster to re-frame in a positive light.
Scenario: You've been wrongly accused of a crime you did not commit and subsequently sentenced to life in prison.

I'm glad you were still able to use anuses in your narrative.
