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
