When I Was A Kid I Used To Respond To The "glass Half Full/half Empty" Question By Asking How The Liquid
when i was a kid i used to respond to the "glass half full/half empty" question by asking how the liquid in the glass got there in the first place. nobody ever gave me a chance to explain my reasoning so i'm doing it now
if you have a glass and it has some liquid in it, up to the halfway line, whether it is empty or full depends on what happened before the question was asked. if you started with a full glass and poured half out until only half remained, the glass is half empty, because if you continued pouring it would be fully empty. however, if you started with an empty glass and poured liquid from another container into the glass up to the halfway line, the glass is half full because if you continued pouring it would be all the way full. logical, no?
i was 13 years old when somebody finally told me it was supposed to be some kind of optimism/pessimism thing. i always thought it was a riddle that nobody let me solve

Went to mad-at-u.com and no one was logged in lol :>
I had a dream where a guy was trying to eradicate all sharks and I was chasing him down like I was a detective. When I finally caught him I asked him why, why kill shark :( ? to which he replied "sharks are against my religion" and then he got absolutely decked by this thresher shark, I mean, this thing sent him to the stratosphere in one swoop
idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it
cats are really useful for when you need a small animal to sit 10-15 feet away from you and stare at you with unceasing neutrality
