What you say is true though. And assuming it does come from Strom, it doesn't have to be taken in the way he intended. In fact, if it has been deliberately attributed to Voltaire to hide the origin, it appears people have gone on to use it en masse in their own way that has jack shit to do with Jews and it's lost the specific meaning they were trying to lend credibility to. Own goal for the bozos there perhaps.

Cheers for the heads up. Typical of the right wing, he used that image in anti-semetic literature thereby totally contradicting what he is trying to say, genius!!

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything."

It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!

Ta for that oi.
You have no idea of the syncronicity for me with a friend in need.
