Is the glass half full or half empty?

Question

My theory: If you pour the water/juice/whatever your drinking into the glass halfway, it's half full. If you drink it/pour it out halfway, it's half empty :) What do you guys think?

Answer 1

Depends on your point of view, but I like your theory! But technically, it could be either way no matter what you do to the glass. For example, let's go with your point. If I pour half of the juice out of the glass, you would say it's half empty. But it's still half full! Because a full glass minus half makes it half full. Same goes for filling the glass. It would be half empty. Half of the glass is empty. Get my drift?

Answer 2

My glass is always half full! No matter what! And if I drink it all the way down, yum! I just love LIFE!!! Then, I fill it back up to the top!

Its never half empty, because the half I drank, is in my stomach now, and I'm happy about it!!!

Answer 3

The glass is Half Full!

Answer 4

I respond to existence's united statesand downs genuinely. each setback is basically greater evidence that the international is working because of the fact anyone has stable and undesirable moments. i will roll with the punches, even nonetheless especially cases I punch returned.. ^_^ don't be too detrimental or attempt too complicated to stay useful, no remember what. -- my glass is... a million/2 finished!

Answer 5

it depends on what's in the glass-

if it's a glass of sh*t, then yeah i'm going with half empty.



if it's baby blood, that's even more confusing. Is going to? or coming from? going to- yeah that's a half full glass the baby is going to be okay. but coming from- its only half empty glass. don't ask why it's baby blood, but it just is.

Answer 6

half full if you are filling it, half empty if you are drinking it.



but if I come across a glass that is just half, and I don't know wether it was drunken from or if someone poured it - half full.

If you're a pessimist, it's already half-empty. If you're an optimist, it's still half full.

Answer 13

No, no matter what, to me it's half full.

Forget the optimist/pessimist metaphorical aspect of it all.

It just sounds wrong to me to say that it's half empty.
