See? Some people have a positive attitude

[YoursTrue]

Some people see good in all the murders in Ukraine. Because of the energy factor. Isn't that something? https://www.newscientist.com/articl...ne-will-change-the-way-the-world-uses-energy/

Ffs they're trying to bring the green stuff into the war. It's not timely.

I guess it's easy to see the glass half-full when it's someone else's glass that's half-empty. Or utterly shattered.

Where in the article does it say it saw good in all the murders in Ukraine?

Or is this just right wing conservative Christian lies?

In my opinion.

Its not timely to the extent it should have been prepared for long before the war, but relevant to the extent that the war has given us a taste of the fossil fuel crisis we will inevitably have to face.

In my opinion.

Did anyone actually say they saw the glass as half full?

Or is it simply a conservative right wing lie being accepted uncritically and propagated?

In my opinion.

It doesn't use that phrase. But it's clear that they're saying something good will come out of it. If you don't see that, ok, have a real good day as you contemplate things.

I am amazed you see the idea put forth in the article as a political ploy. What is so obvious to some just isn't to others. Anyway, have a good evening.

I doubt it.

The way I see it is that they are saying change will come out of the petrol shortage, not that there is good in the murder of Ukrainians.

In my opinion.

I do not see the idea put forward in the article as being a political ploy, I see the interpretive spin being placed on the article as being unjustified as the article does not even hint at the murder of Ukrainians as containing some good.

In my opinion.

So the men, women, and children not allowed to live a so-called normal life because they were murdered lead to something good? Maybe they can mention that at their funerals, that their deaths will help the world with the energy debacle.

ok, that's the way you see it. Do you really think it couldn't have been solved before this? (not that it helps but there's an expression -- 'knock it off.')

Neither the article nor i suggested that the murder in Ukraine led to something good.
In fact the only thing discussed from what I managed to glean was that the petrol shortage will lead to change in the way we use energy.

Just to repeat, none of that is mentioning murder or that such murder contains "some good"

In my opinion.

I think the problem could have been mitigated to an extent had there been the political will to do so.

In my opinion.

Are you unaware of the changes that came out of World War II and how they effected the world? Is anyone that recognizes them saying they are glad all thode people died? Or are they recognizing that conflict drove changes?

I don't see the spin you are claiming and that your view is how I should interpret the article.

It will indeed be a very good thing if Europe becomes less reliant on fossil gas from Russia and switch to local renewables because of the Ukraine war.

No one said that, nor did I imply that anyone did. I was simply wondering what @YoursTrue was trying to say by putting this thread in Theological Concepts.
