Half empty? Half full? Fully half?


positive pessimism
half yet full?
Optimism itself seems ironical. You have to be highly optimistic to even talk of optimism these days. Most of us are pessimistic about optimism! The world is not perfect and that’s a harsh reality. It’s not so easy to believe that faith is all you need; and that:
This will work out for the best…
It will surely get better…
It’s going to go well…
It’s just fine…
It’s OK…
It’s not always OK. But we have to make it ok. The glass has water to 50% of its optimum capacity. So really is it half empty, or half full, or fully half?
