Is the glass half full or half empty?

Its half empty, even if it started out as completely full.

Soon to be a quarter empty

then all gone.
Of course, you can fill it back up and repeat.

I’ve put the glass back on the shelf and adopted the ‘scale of 1 to 10’ approach. At this point in my life, I’m a solid 8. Maybe an 8.5. This measurement fluctuates between 1 and 10 all the time.

I am a pessimist but I’m comfortable with it or I guess I’d be something else.

So, definitely a half-empty glass at all times. Probably with a chip in the rim, just waiting to slice my lip open!

If it has been drank(drunk?) to half, it’s empty; if it has been filled to half, it’s full.

If I come across a half glass of water already there, then it just depends how thirsty I am at that moment.

Then there is the attitude that it’s totally undrinkable because it’s not bottled so what does it matter.

Depends. If I don’t want so much, and only pour half a glass, it’s half-full. But if I’ve drank half the glass, it’s half-empty.

And of course, you’ve got to watch out for the last third-according to Stephen Colbert, it’s usually backwash.

The way I see it, without water, the glass is pretty much useless, so I’d say it’s always full (or half full, or a quarter full) until it’s empty.

I’m generally pretty optimistic. Sometimes it comes easy and sometimes it takes a bit of effort.

I used to be the most pessimistic person on the planet. I’m much happier now.

The glass is completely full; it’s just that you can’t see the air that fills the top half.
