is it true that the glass is never full?

i'm thinking.  you want things to be perfect.  like tom brady is super good looking, rich and talented.  but what does that mean.

we all want to collect things.  and get a high score.  but it turns out whatever we collect and achieve doesn't mean much after a while.

it's good to be better but even if you're the best or perfect, it doesn't do much for you.

to which i realize the glass can never be full: but you keep filling it.

    Things are never perfect.  There will always be something to accomplish.  We get more satisfaction from working towards a goal than we get from completing it.

    Rapture is a heresy. One must hide within a small group (10-12 people according to saint Seraphim of Sarov from Russia, 10-15 people group according to saint Gabriel Urgebadze from the country of Georgia) in order to escape the unforgivable mark of the beast. No documents; documents are from Satan; burn them (even documents of deceased relatives). No electronics once you hid so that you won't be tracked (even an old broken unplugged TV set from 1970's will show the infamous evil flying antichrist using Tesla's ether). [Saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov] Mark of the beast is given with World Passport (grey plastic card with no name on it); antichrist will release prisoners / insane asylum people to help him mark everyone. Police will mark people on highways; food stores will mark people who steal marked food (because marked food can only be swallowed by a marked person who has three strands of DNA instead of two). Reject vaccines, temperature scans, COVID tests (or similar), etc.

    There are multiple glasses. That way you can never run out of room. I do encourage moderation, as learning to be happy with what you have is more important than being happy with always having more (imo).

    It's only full for a brief moment before it spills over. 

    Philosophically speaking, what good does it do to gain the whole world and lose your soul?   Refer to Mark 8:36

    David said in Psalm 23 that his "cup runneth over."  That's because he was close to God.  You can know Him personally by receiving His Son, Jesus Christ, as your personal Lord and Savior.

    The glass is ALWAYS FULL, but most of the time it's filled with two different things. Learn to accommodate and appreciate both. In a literal sense, some see air in the glass as emptiness when in fact it is a critical, life-sustaining substance.  Surely you can use that analogy in a useful way that helps you maintain perspective.
