The expression of 'is the cup half empty or half full ' reflects the need to look at matters in different perspectives. Though it is commonly used to indicate that a particular situation could be a cause of looking at things positively or negatively as well as used as a tool to simply evaluate the individual's personality (optimist vs pessimist) - STILL labelling does not serve any significant effect on evaluating matters and facing certain facts that we dealt with in life.
Our perception on things.. matters.. events.. people.., is unique as our interpretation of the reality realies heavily on our experience. What we experienced builds up the perception and therefore we look at things as 'half-emptied cup or half-filled cup'.
Challenges in life should be attended with various perspectives. It is not the matter of your 'cup' is half empty or half full' , is the matter of taking it in and embrace it- No matter how difficult it is. We have to look at a bigger picture. Ask- WHY should you ever look at the cup? Look at the whole tea set! The cup may be filled or emptied... but still you have a tea set- your life! You are still breathing and therefore you are given the chance to fill NOT only the tea cup BUT every cup..
SO.. when questions arise, statements argued... half full or half empty... take it as a mission, a request that YOU need to make the best out of the tea set... The tea set is there... use it wise.. use it to the fullest... it is not there for us to weep and complaint or even GLOAT.. it is half full or half empty.. CHOICE has been made. TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEA SET!
"So eat of the sustenance which ALLAH has provided for you, lawful and good;
and be grateful for the favours of ALLAH, if it is HE Whom you serve"
(Al-Nahl : 114)
