Most know that someone who looks for something positive in every negative event will
often be disappointed. Yet, many of us continue to seek the silver lining of dark
clouds despite the odds. It brings to mind the joke about the parents of a child that
they felt was too optimistic, so they gave the child a pile of manure as a birthday
gift in an attempt to help the child realize that life isn’t always positive and happy.
To the parents’ surprise, the child gleefully thanked the parents and started happily
shoveling through the gift. When the parents asked why, the child answered joyfully,
“There’s got to be a pony in here somewhere!”
