    centered around only some kind of diet and exercise to live to 100+; rather, it’s to form a healthy physique and mindset for everyday life for an overall positive outlook. Think of it like this: Is the glass half full, or half empty? For the sake of where I live however, the story is sadly a half empty outlook. Why I say this is because the people I have grown up with, been to meetings with, their overall attitude to a form of information like this is oddly irrelevant to them. They’ll listen but…

    My mind lagged behind my eyes. I savour the seconds while consciousness sets in. A dark haze fell as I swung my feet off the bed, a half empty glass of water fell across a stack of sub-par tests. I could already feel the worry beginning to bubble. I brushed the silk curtains away to reveal the world. Why does it look worse everyday?

    Is the glass half-full or half-empty? The novel, Sula by Toni Morrison, sees the glass half-empty. Morrison constantly depicts the evils in the 1920’s black community in her story, and for that she teaches her characters that goodness does not normally exist. All of characters have a relationship with another, be it mother-daughter, husband-wife, friends or family, and many of those relationships end in disaster.
