Reply #69: Glass Half Empty vs Half Full

[One_Life_To_Give]

It has been my observation that this pattern is not uncommon with people. We tend to view our own glass as half empty. Noticing what we don't have and forget to count what we do have. We joke about it with shows like Desperate Housewives, and how tough it is to keep up appearances etc.

We can joke about how ridiculous this woman seems to us. While the same could be said by the 50k/yr family about the 100k/yr, or the 20K about the 50k, or the child in Bangladesh about the American with 20k/yr. Seems it's as much human nature as anything that this becomes people's view of themselves.
