They say there's two ways to look at the world:
the glass is half empty?
the glass is half full?
who cares,
it's just a glass of water,
spill it on the ground,
It's still a glass of water


(was this supposed to be comforting?)
I said I'm going to buy a gun and start a war,
If you can tell me something worth fighting for

LOL.. spill it on the ground..and it is just a glass... and glass we can crush or see through..or use to hold other things..like your crayons..or mine...

like this Wind.. looking at it from the perspective that you have shows us in some ways the problem with analogies and metaphor... they are only illustrations of larger things IF we let them be...

cracking up here. There is a famous W.C. Fields quote, regarding what HE had to say about a glass of water...

oh, wicked wicked me....



You are going to torment some man one day, and make him love it.
