Question: Please share your thoughts on this !?
In a half-filled glass of water, if put some pebbles, the water level in the glass would rise and this way we can change the half filled glass into a full glass of water with pebbles in it!. We know that, the water level that we achieved after putting the pebbles, is not the true level of water and the moment we remove the pebbles, the water would get back to its original level!. Using this analogy, we can understand that INTROSPECTION of one’s own innerself is like removing the pebbles to see the true level of our personality and character!. That would help us to grow as we would then follow up INTROSPECTION with correcting our own faults and shortcomings in our personalities which we identified during INTROSPECTION!.The Pebbles could represent, Overconfidence, Ignorance of the flaws of the Self!.The Water represents one's personality and character!. What are your views on this !?

If a glass with liquid in it sits alone on a table, can it be pessimistic or optimistic about itself!?
If you can figure that out, it might answer your question for you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm sorry, but the silliness factor kicked halfway through reading your question!. I'm a "The glass is as full as it is empty" kinda guy, so all this talk of stinking up my drinking water with dirty pebbles really made me lose my thirst!. I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you!. Wait, let me take these pebbles out of my ears!. Now, what was that!? A metaphor!? Who needs metaphors explained aloud!? It was Willie Wonka who said, "We are the dreamers of dreams!." YOU use the metaphors and let others try to explain your wisdom!. Or are you checking out your ideas before using them in a speech to see if they "hold any water!?" Back when I started writing, I realized that it was far more effective to keep myself incoherently detached from the ideas that I presented so that I could completely form the idea within its metaphor before I brought it out into the world of realism!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
