A chassid once this rabbi what his thoughts were on the age old quandary of whether the cup was half empty or half full. The rabbi answered him that it was obvious that the cup is completely full. It is half full of water and half full of air. People can live without water for a while but it's not possible for a person to live without air for more than a few minutes. People look at their lives and see that it is half empty but that's insignificant compared to how full it is with what matters. The air of life is your contribution to the world the meaning you add to the world. Will anyone miss you when you leave this world? Why will they miss you? Whatever you achieved?
