THE GLASS

The Glass

 

The glass is a bit

More than half full

 

Half full is 

Realistic

 

Less than half is

Pessimistic

 

A bit more than half is

Optimistic

 

Two people looking out of the same window often see different things. One sees the birds and the flowers. The second sees the garbage cans and cluttered debris. All of these things are there but one person focuses on the eye appealing stuff while the other focuses on the ugliness.

 



 

In this photograph of the White Canyon some people will see only arid waste land. Others will see a stark beauty and the promise of thriving life.

 

In life sometimes we have choices of what we look for. Psychologists tell us that some people see the glass as a little more than half full. They look for the beauty and find it. They are more likely to experience positive emotions like happiness, joy and awe because they are simply more likely to look for it and seek it out.

 

So, see the glass a bit more than half full.
