Here is a lesson on how to look for the silver lining in things.
Since I hate being pissed off (nothing pisses me off more than being pissed off) I decided to look for the silver lining.
It turns out that the word, "emordnilap" is a word that, when spelled backwards, produces anothe word. For example:
- desserts -> stressed
- drawer -> reward
- laced -> decal
and therefore, the phrase "emordnilap palindrome" is an emordnilap palindrome. And that made me happy again.
Thanks uncle joe.

Sometimes the silver lining is more legitimate than that! Take genital herpes, for example. On one hand, ok, you have herpes now. That SUCKS. But, on the other hand... suddenly there is no reason to avoid a certain segment of the population that, statistically speaking, has more sex than the general population (so is on average both more attractive and more experienced). This segment of the population additionally themselves have some limitations on their partners, increasing demand for you as well. That's the silver lining to the herp. Side: Thanks uncle joe.
Oooh I see. Ok, let's play a game. :D I will you give a hypothetical, find the silver lining. A person has a contracted a disease that is destroying their body and mind. This person has very much mental and kinesthetic potential. This person loves using their mental and physical prowess all the time, doing numerous things to challenge themself to become stronger and smarter. Due to the adverse affects of the disease, the person is unable to preform at even 30% of their original power. It's painful for this person to move and its painful for this person to think. The disease has reached an advanced stage, medications don't help much, they just slow the deterioration process a smidge. This person defines themself by their skill/knowledge/power etc, but within their debilitating state, the person's attributes are nowhere near what the person knows they could be. This person is only 18, but feels like 70. Side: Thanks uncle joe.
