Regarding the "is the cup half full / half empty question" I've found a nice answer:
"The cup has the double capacity of the actual requirement"

People say that what we're all seeking is a
meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're
really seeking. I think what we're seeking is an
experience of being alive, so that our life
experiences on the purely physical plane will
have resonances within our own innermost
being and reality, so we can actually feel the
rapture of being alive

“What is the ideal for mental health, then? A lived, compelling illusion that does not lie about life, death, and reality; one honest enough to follow its own commandments: I mean, not to kill, not to take the lives of others to justify itself.”
― Ernest Becker
"Beneath the civilized veneer, man remains the supreme predator. Cursed with what he believes is understanding, his true soul blossoms godlike in the heart of the nuclear inferno."
