Real Realism …<br />
(12/14/<strong>2012</strong>)<br />
The Pessimist (a.k.a. <strong>the</strong> “realist”) believes that “The glass is half empty.”<br />
He attends to what is “broken” or “lacking” in life in order to obtain more, or — at<br />
<strong>the</strong> very least — to attain his or her “fair share”.<br />
The Optimist (a.k.a. <strong>the</strong> “idealist”) believes that “The glass is half full.”<br />
She attends to what is “pleasant” or “abundant” in life in order to “manifest more<br />
wealth” or — at <strong>the</strong> very least — to justify protecting <strong>the</strong> “fair share” she already<br />
possesses.<br />
The Altruist (a.k.a. <strong>the</strong> “Dreamer”), on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, simply holds out<br />
his or her glass and asks, “Are you thirsty? Would you like some of my water?”<br />
… These are <strong>the</strong> ones who are grateful for whatever <strong>the</strong>y already have; those who<br />
express that thankfulness by sharing <strong>the</strong>ir lives with those who appear to have less.<br />
In this way, <strong>the</strong> “Altruists” are <strong>the</strong> ones who have awakened to Life’s true<br />
Beauty … And as such, <strong>the</strong>se are <strong>the</strong> ones who come to live a Life that is truly &<br />
verifiably full & truly real.<br />
