For many years I was in the former category - far more conscious of the problems and difficulties we faced than the numerous ways in which we're luckier than so many people. I suppose this negativity reached a peak when I lost someone very close to me and my life changed forever.
Now I'm a transformed character and much more aware of all the positives and just how lucky we are in so many ways. I'm much less stressed overall too which is a very pleasant side benefit.
Which camp do you fall into and why?
I'm definitely in the glass half full camp.
Partly because I think it's somehow in my nature, but like you I've also suffered, but I came through it and truly appreciate what I have now!
I don't look at how full the glass is, I sip from the glass when I am thirsty and dip into the lake of life as I pass by. The glass is never empty.
It used to be half full, some bugger keeps emptying it, and I think its been spiked.

Drain the Glass...
Wipe your Mouth with your arm like a Barbarian...
Pitch the Glass over your Left Shoulder...
Order another Glass and Growl:
"Make Sure It's Full this Time!"
Oi! did you spill my pint?
Well having had a life scare in the last few years it changes how you look at everything anyway..
Half full for sure in fact if theres anything in it its a bous lol. There is always someone worse off and there will always be someone better off so why worry!

Half empty cos today has just got progressively worse and... erm... I feel like shit.
Mine is half full and always has been.... Especially now :inlove:
In my case the glass is a bucket and it is overfilling. Pointless dwelling on the bad, look only for the good.
