What I've learned is that some people are whiners and complainers who will never be happy with what they have and others are positive, optimistic people who make the best of any circumstance.

So in terms of happiness and well-being, these type of articles are useless.

If the original editorial had tried to make this point, I wouldn't have bothered to criticize. My problem is with the sloppy thought that went into the article. I don't care whether someone sees the glass as half-full or half-empty. I have a problem with people trying to sell me half a glass of water by claiming that it's really three-quarters of a glass of water.
