I have been recently told that I see my glass half empty instead of seeing it half full.
This popular expression is commonly used in everydays life at every levels of our life. People use it to label a situation or a person as being optimistic or pessimistic. It was commonly used by recruiters to figure out wheter they are interviewing an optimistic potential employee or a pessimist person who sees only the negative aspect of a specific situation and who is unable to see the positive aspects of a situation, as little as it might be. I remember I have trained myself to always think ”I see my glass half full”. This expression implies that nowdays the universal common sense expect you to be optimistic, therefore satisfyed, with only half of what you want, with only half of what you are entitled to expect from your life, for a given time and situation.
I don’t relate to this expression. I believe it can’t apply to me because it’s a universal popular expression, as my life doesn’t follow unfulfilling social and psycological patterns (anymore). As far as I am concerned, I have decided some time ago that I am full, my life is full, my dreams are full, and today my Now is filling up. Okay, right now my glass of love might be empty, but someday it will be full. But it will never be either half full either half empty.
