"Focusing on the negative is good. It builds you up to face even worse things."
This is true. And that's all it is, is true. It certainly isn't self-justifying, or even self-explanatory. Why would we want to live a life devoted to fortifying ourselves to face consistently worse things? That's strikes me as an ideology of the insane.
Focusing on the negative is good. It builds you up to face even worse things. The problem is when you obsess on the negative, which it seems you are doing with this. Really, though. As you say, what does it matter how you look at it? Half of nothing IS nothing, an therefore nothing to concern yourself with.
Once again you've given us something to ponder. I've also heard the "from wisdom comes sorrow." If you are wise enough to know the eventual outcome of things, you carry a burden of sadness. Half full, half empty, or almost gone?

I like the effect you've done on the liquid...it has a nice ...ethery quality to it.
