To believe that the glass is half full is to limit possibility! How much more excitement is there in life when you always have the possibility of filling that glass with something new and furthermore even having the choice to do so?! You will all envy my half empty glass, for I am free to act, yet therefore damned beyond imagination.
If a pessimist sees the universe spiraling down and backwards he is relatively more hopeful than the optimist who only sees upward and forward motion, for in the moment the pessimist is always at the highest and best place that he will ever know. As that point continually slips away he clings to his blessed remembrance. The optimist, on the other hand, is always at the bottum striving to gaze up at that which he will never attain in the moment- nor in eternity.
Wiser still is the man who sees that everything is spiraling in both directions and that pessimism and optimism will loop around to meet one another, yet just at the point where they would conjoin- diverge off into the infinite.
Even though the falcon is now entirely deaf, dumb and blind at least it hasn't forgotten how to beat its wings in direct defiance of any sort of falsely imagined falconer!

This post reminds me of one of those visualizations that Windows Media Player has to go along with music. Do you really think that that backwards reasoning is actually valid? Do you really think that saying that everything loops around and diverges to infinity makes it a true concept? Can anyone just make up anything about any topic and be right? Wake up.

No I don't think either of those things. Do you really think that I'm talking about truth?
