there is much beauty thru simple words
thanks for stopping in and sharing your thoughts
It's said the optimist will claim it's half full, while the pessimist will swear it's half empty.
I always thought the glass was just too tall. 🤔

But, if it holds something, as it was designed to, it's serving the purpose for which it was created, and that's more than can be said of so many of us humans, who are basically less than fully useful.

Anyway, Keith, ya got us thinkin', and that's a start! ⁓ Richard🖌

This is powerful. Wow, never did I think about a glass like that! Yes, a glass with water can be half full or half empty depending on the person's perception. But all that aside, a glasses main function is to hold the liquid. Short yet powerful, I loved it!!

Ah yes! The people who make sure the glass completes it's function :) will do!
I like the old wisdom of half-empty and half-filled. Each decision we make. Can be wrong or right? Thank you Keith for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.
