Glass of Water (Written Upon Popular Request)

There are people whose work speaks for them. There are few who think their only work is to speak.
There are people who are trusted more than their actual credibility and there are those who are seldom trusted inspite of their genuine nature. Then there are those rascals who have sweetness in words but poisoned bitterness at heart. There are those gentlemen who sound bitter because truth is always bitter and there are those silent killers who can never be judged.
Here is a meaningful comparison of people around us with a glass of water. ( After my friends who know me well insisted that I write about this.)

Person 1 - Is a full glass of water. Ofcourse you can quench your thirst irrespective of what kind of a person you are. These people are gentlemen of the first order. The friend you like the most. Now don't ask if he likes you the same. Trust me that purely depends on you and only you.

Person 2 - Is a full glass of water with both his hands covering the glass - You never know if he has water in his glass. The other thing is that you are not interested ih him even if you are thirsty. Trust me !! You would rather die than ask for his help. May be, his attitude sucks!! Huh!!

Person 3 - Is a half full glass of water. You are not sure if you will have your sip. The fear of rejection will not allow you to ask. These people are self sustaining and will only help if you are Person 5 (Refer Below)

Person 4 - Is a half full glass of water with his hands covering the glass - He projects that he is a full glass of water. He might share a sip just to convince you that he is not lying. Not a trusted partner but yeah! You don't have to care as long as you get what you want.

Person 5 - Is an empty glass Who accepts what he is. Trust me!!! whether you want it that way or not, You will be ready to help him. A person with low esteem who knows not how to ask. He will worship you if you help and you will help only for this reason.

Person 6 - Is an empty glass with his hands covering the glass. Now most of us will fall prey for these types. These people will set your expectation high. You will never get what you want because there is nothing in the glass and you will never come to know. You will blame yourself in the end because he will make you feel that you snapped the string. If you are with this person you are doomed.

( Now associate water with the element that you wanted in a person. Be it, Love, Friendship, Knowledge or what ever you expect)

macha this is ok. But it lacks something... this doesnt seem original as compared to the way u talk.

Yeah i agree with Jayesh, the basic ingredient in this story is missing, maybe you purposefully avoided it but people who know you know that something is missing and those who dont know you are least bothered, so go ahead and make the change man or maybe you need to elevate your mood ;)
