Optimism?

Glass half empty

Glass half full

Both are lacking truth

Both are lacking meaning

The glass is always full

The glass is always empty

Full of air

Devoid of air

This key difference

Does all meaning originate

I based this poem on the idea that everyone assumes the glass is both half full and half empty- when really it is always full. At least on earth, it fills with air. so in truth pessimism is looking at something full- but since they cannot see it they simply can't believe it. Optimists see a glass half full because they associate the air with the atmosphere- hence it is not in the glass. For them, the air is the problems they ignore. It's there, but its someone elses problem.
