We've All Got Half In Our Glass

I look for the beauty in everything/everyone before I even begin to see the perceived ugly. I think some people spend so much time in a world of their own making that they forget, the world isn't as pretty or ugly as our imagination can make it. So it isn't about seeing the glass half full or half empty. The realist knows that if you've got half, you don't have to choose what it is because it's everything already. Life happening everyday forces you to see, even when we decide to ignore what's in front of us. Therefore, to view things solely as an optimist or pessimist is removing parts of reality. The true beauty of life is...it's never the black and white landscape some of us paint it to be. Extremes are easier to fathom. Middle ground requires understanding, compassion, empathy and far more heart than logic. Gray areas/Color forces us to see the world as it really is; something that changes, at will. Nothing in life is as colorless as we can trick ourselves into believing...

Hollow Victories

Should one want glory more than honour. Should one want victory over pride. Shouldn't self worth be more important. Than the acclaim that many thrive. I find my fellow man to be.

You always hear about people being 'so disappointed' that a place or thing they've wanted for ages didn't turn out to be as amazing as they thought it would.

SirMars Theory

As a bit of sociopath in the sense that I feel excluded from the world in many ways. I tend to think about things, ALOT.

Birthdays

I have never really understood birthdays. They tragically seem to me just like every other day. You expect this deep change to occur within you when you reach the end of another year of life.

I like the 'the realist knows if you've got half...' bit! Very wise!

Thank you :-)
