Realist
We mortals have eyes to see,
ears to hear, noses to smell,
and abilities to feel and taste.
Under normal circumstances, we are
blessed with these senses at birth.
After birth, things go rapidly relative.
A pessimist sees a glass half empty of water.
There is no rain and the wells are running dry.
Soon, there will be no water for us to drink.
An optimist sees a glass half full of water.
We are overdue, and any day now, it will rain!
There will be plenty of water to survive and thrive!!
A REALIST sees a glass with a certain amount of drinking water.
It may or may not rain. So, we must prepare for possible pain,
conserve the water we have, and develop a plan of distribution.
