A common debate among philosophers and philanthropists is whether a glass with water filling it half way is; half empty or half full? Suggesting it is half empty is deemed a pessimistic view, whilst half full suggests an optimistic view of life.
I don't think this really matters, your view on life should never really be objective or unwavering. It obviously depends on what happens in your life, changing with every direction your life takes.
Yet regardless of deciding the volume of the water, couldn't you be happy with the fact that you do have water. Your view on life should be dependent on the mere existence of the water. So that you will enjoy life and be thankful for everything.
I appreciate bad things in life will happen and it is almost rude to say "just enjoy life" but those bad things make you appreciate things in life.
You have the water, you have the ability to make the water fill up.
You have some water, rather than no water.
Fill the glass up.

Is Love created by the Universe?
If the title is a little confusing, it really means that can the universe, as an abstract concept, force love on between two people?
I was recently watching a favourite programme of mine, Grey's Anatomy. One episode saw two people, from totally different backgrounds, who took random steps in their life and eventually joined the same bowling club in one city. So the question I ask you, is love, fate? Can the universe really 'bring' two people together, as if there very purpose in life was to meet and to fall in love?
Destiny is also related here (and not about her child, no) as it can claim it was two people's destiny to meet and to fall in love. On a basic level, it seems quaint, but it is mixing the fundamentals of science and claiming the universe is intertwined with foreknowledge (knowing what is going to happen in the future). Which is totally impossible.
But then you hear stories of miraculous events that happen, step-by-step and eventually people are brought together, and then fall in love.
Maybe the game of life is love, and maybe the universe is the game master.
Maybe love is lost at sea and has to be found, maybe that's why they call it a relationship.
