Say you bought some really expensive tea cups a month ago, now you dont feel like drinking much of tea and before you used to drink 12 oz tea and now only 8 oz.. What can be done to the cups? should you throw the old cups away and buy a new set? They’ve been used few times so can’t be returned.
It does matter. When I see the cup half empty, I feel like a pessimist.
*I know it is pretty hard looking at the those CUPS and see them half empty but my mate always think, 'Ohhh, these cups are going to be full soon .'"

When chachu ghalib lost his Jaam and meena ( Jam got broken and meena run away with a kaNjara ( samaN baich ne wala - gali nahii ) He could have focused on the negative aspects -- not seeing her again, etc. -- but instead he thought positively about it. Instead of focusing on life without her, he focused on the fun and excitement she was probably experiencing while traveling.
Loss is a hard thing to cope with, but Chacha Ghalib did well to make the most of it. He took another loan and bought some english wine and start'd writing new ghazals on Tina :D
