Summary

This quote humorously observes how society tends to have an affinity for and romanticize individuals once they have passed away. In death, people become immortalized in the memories, stories, and collective consciousness of others. The quote highlights the ironic shift in people's perception, as the value and appreciation given to someone often increases posthumously, when it can no longer be directly shared with them. It suggests that perhaps we should express love and appreciation for those we care about while they are still alive.

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half-full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half-empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
