when you look at a cup with 5 oz water and 5 oz air do you think that it's only half full ? or can you think that you still have enjoyment from drinking the first 5 oz?

not a noble description of what you might have, a neutral description of what you do have or a romantic description of what you did have, but a reconnection of the memories of the past to impel you to think of the future. is that 'prudence' ?
