| half-empty | ||
 | (warning: a whole load of bullsh*t coming your way) undoubtedly, this is an interesting idea for a merchandise that has got me pondering about the poignancy of the half-full, half-empty proposition as synonyms for states of mind that we're all too familiar with. the concept behind the half-empty glass seems to fall apart when utilised in its most obvious practical operation - the act of drinking. my attempt to invalidate the metaphor has to be based on a few assumptions. assuming that (a) the glass can only be filled with goodness, (b) people are innately greedy/thirsty and therefore (c) people will tend to fill the glass above the half-empty mark, the liquid-containing glass will start off in a full, or not-empty state. and then we commence the drinking. upon establishing the liquid level at the halfway point, accordingly, one is supposed to inadvertently lament upon the sad state of the half-empty container. from this point on, one can proceed in 2 directions: (1) the protagonist exclaims at the half-empty state and realises he has now space to increase his kahlua/chocolate syrup intake by the addition of the chosen liquid, thereby taking over the emptiness originally taken up by the portion that he has already ingested, and therefore is happy. (2) the protagonist begins on a journey to savour the remaining liquid in reduced portions in his fight to maximise satisfaction, and therefore will be happy. it is in my opinion that only an idiot would sit and stare at a mug of goodness and moan at the half-empty state continuously, thereby concluding my thoughts on why the production of the pessimist mug is self-defeating.

 | there is always something disturbing about drawings by leonardo. and that emotion of bewilderment is clearly not lacking in seeing this particular drawing (and others), taking into account that he lived in an era before anatomical studies were commonplace. |
