The classic differentiator between optimism and cynicism is the half glass of water.
It takes a neutral fact and adds a judgement that tells us much about the observers life view, half empty or half full. Honestly, the half glass of water is neither half empty or half full. It is just a half glass of water. If we want more, we should get more, but complaining doesn't help. Realizing what we have, and feeling gratitude, on the other hand, is a type of honesty I think most of us fall short of a great deal of the time.
When we speculate on the future, all we know is really a guess. That makes anything possible, and the truth what you make it. So here's to optimism, true to ourselves, true to life, and true to our potential.
However trendy, however convenient, however natural it might seem to be a cynic, I will still maintain to be an optimist..
Prayer

God of hope, Giver of a good and perfect future, quench the cynic within me!

What does this all have to do with DMG...good question😛😊

DMGRocks!
everything and everyone ...has flaws...its only when we choose to look beyond the flaws ..that we can appreciate the beauty.
And yes, complaining seriously doesn't help especially when it is done by the same people over the same old things.

Jay good to see u..

Wonderful topic...

For me in Real life and DMG ..... the glass has always been 1/2 full....
Optimism is a way of life.... u accept u are happy ... u are cynical of that glass being always 1/2 empty u are never going to be satisfied... I am blessed...
Blessed with wonderful life and wonderful IF family...

And what is that related to DMG u say....
LOL.. for me and DMG...I am always content.... my 1/2 full is always Armaan .... and when there is Armaan.. i am always happy....

Again.. good topic.. thanks for letting me comment...

Hello Jay
Nice topic, for me I would say the glass is half empty, call me pessimistic, but if we think the glass is half full, we will never work our work to making it complete full, on the other side, if we see the half empty, we know, something is missing & would try to fill the gap or more to say work towards making something that is empty- full
this is only my opinion, I am not talking about the show, so there is no need for anyone to quote & bash me...

amazing post!!!
and wonderful reply jodubai 😃
im thirsty looking at that water, lemme go grab a sip 😆
criticizing the show based on the same old reasons that cannot be dealt with is not necessary,
but trying to make it better is a different thing...
