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
