#Soc Saturday/#Just Jot it January
Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “sap/sep/sip/sop/sup.” Use one or all of these words or find a word that contains them, but most of all, have fun! Wondering what to do with “sep”? This is interesting: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=SEP Enjoy!
With youth there is an acceptable level of selfishness allowed. As we walk the path of growth we are expected to clamor for what is ours, to find our place and develop our own persona. If life were a glass of water, a younger me would gulp it down, slam the glass on the counter and demand more. Without regard for whether the person next to me is thirsty.
With age I have learned that the person next to me matters. That they may be dehydrated by life. That the contents of their glass won’t satiate them.
I have thankfully learned to sip from my glass, wait to see if my thirst is quenched, and if possible pass the glass so that they might satisfy theirs.
After all, the great “half-full or half-empty” debate is a misnomer. The glass is refillable.
The Tao of Bill 
The whole glass have empty or half full conversation only really comes up though one wonders if they need a refill

Exactly! It’s like that saying about happiness: it’s not pie—just because you have some doesn’t mean there’s less for me😊

Beautifully expressed. You said it nicely, selfishness is allowed when young. Later on, it really becomes a huge flaw, like anger, bitterness, ignorance…
