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.
