Which is right?

Here lies the question of the ages. Is this glass, half empty, or is it half full. No matter which way you turn you will with no doubt find folks going in one way or the other. We can at least be thankful that it is only two choices in this matter. Any more might just make things really hectic, and down right really confusing.

It is amazing to me just how this question has seemed to guide the path of out lives in recent years. It seems that most folks now choose to look at things from the bottom side of things. Or should we say the negative, for at least this moment. (you can certainly choose to disagree)

A few weeks ago I was having a conversation on-line with someone I was trying to get to know. I asked the question: what is your sign? Her response was “I think that is pure evil, I don’t even give that any mind”.

I stopped to wonder about that statement, since me and my mom had the same conversation some years ago. So here is where I sit today.

Why is it so darn easy to see the negative, or the ugly over the beauty and the love?

I can recall sitting in Bible camp and singing a song whose words read:

In the stars his handiwork I see…

Why is it that since some astrological studies have turned to a dark side of things, some folks forget or choose not to see the good in things.

As I go on through life I see this in just about everything I encounter these days.  It is simply easier to see the darkness.

The picture at the bottom is only a mere example of a starry night, but ask yourself this (at least in talking about the stars)  when was the last time you looked up saw a sky filled with stars and just stopped to look?

Have we let the half empty guidelines dictate how we lead our lives?

Have we forgotten about all the great and beautiful things that life really has to offer.

I can think back too when a man buying a woman a dozen roses, meant he walked into: “I love you honey”. Yet today that same man would get: “so what did you do? or even  so you leaving me now?”

It might seem sort of funny, but as you read stop and look around you, and your life. And see just what things are really important and why.  Are you choosing the positive, or going the easier way with the negative.
