Dark Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Well' date=' what do [i']you[/i] think it means? Thats the point; I do not know. Now that I look back at it, it seems like it makes no sense. But everyone was cheering me on when I said that. But to me, it seems like it makes no sense. But I know that it does make sense, but it doesn't. Urgh! I am confuzzled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 No one wrote it for me, I thought of it on the spot. It might have been rebounded from an exsisting quote. And FM6, exactly what I was thinking. That is why it makes no sense, but I know it does make sense! But what does it make sense... about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I have an idea. Not sure if this works. It does not matter the external features of a person; what matters more is their heart, soul, and mind. Maybe that was it? I don't know!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiro Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Alright, I'll give the meaning of:Do you see the glass as half empty or half full? I stare at the glass until I get thirsty, and then I drink the water inside. I do not worry about the glass itself, only its contents and the importance of the water. How do you see the glass? It means: Do you see this life as something that's lacking what it should have, or something that has more than it should have? I don't think about it until someone asks me, and then I say that I just go through live because I have to. I do not worry about the afterlife, only what I sense and the importance of life. How do you see life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 So it's about life, and do not worry about anything; just live life. I like that, it makes sense. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
