half full water bottle left behind on the floor of a public bus: *rolls around*
OP is an optimist
Not to be pedantic but it took me years to understand the optimist/pessimist divide via the halglass because i literally always considered it a factor of time/prior state rather than ‘outlook on the world’
If I fill a glass and drink half, that glass is half empty
If i only fill a glass halfway that glass is half full
Honestly that probably is important to the metaphor because if you have a full glass and half gets poured out you are going to have a different reaction then being served that way. Like one is “I was only provided with half” and one is “half was taken from me”.
who cares
*drinks the free bus water while you’re all busy arguing*
I thought “op is an optimist” was referring to OP saying water when in all likelihood it would probably be piss
10/10 I love that man. his solution to every problem is to chill out and drink some tea and honestly he’s right. I really hope he and aang become friends
if it makes you feel good, legend of korra implies that aang not only stayed in contact with iroh well into adulthood but even aang and kataras kids were friends with iroh when they were younger
