The glass in front of you has water in it, so is it half full or half empty? Either you can see the downside or the upside of life. The one who sees downside looks at the glass half empty, the one who sees upside looks at the glass half full. The reasoning man says its neither, it’s just a glass of water. The greedy world feels they need to fill it up, the ones who feel inadequate feel they should drink slowly or it will get empty soon and the businessman thinks he should sell it and then he can buy more to sell more. The lazy one doesn’t worry about anything till he needs it after waking up. The indifferent one says who cares!
The sage witnesses all these people and the glass and says nothing at all. He knows everything is unreal so he is silent.
