What's in the glass
What’s in the glass?
Is the glass half empty or half full?
Pessimism versus Optimism
Both have their pros and cons
Pessimism is how we survive
If we only see the bad we can stay alive
Avoid all those we think can hurt us
We adapt and we learn and we never forgive
And eventually, we die lonely and hating the world
Optimism is how we love
If we can only see the good we can truly live
Rejoice in all things that inspire
We blindly trust and we are trespassed and hurt
And we always forgive, we die hurt but with no regrets and in love with life
So, is the glass half empty or half full?
…
I guess it depends on what’s inside
