As an example, imagine yourself pouring a glass of water for somebody. You would most likely fill the glass so it is almost full, allowing a small amount of space to prevent spillages. The water in the glass represents the good stuff, in other words the stress we all need in our lives which gives us the impetus to get out of bed in the morning and face whatever the world throws out of us.
