half full, half empty, or merely half?

Answer 1

Half full, things could always be worse.

Answer 2

change the half to 50%, it becomes 50% full, 50% empty, 50% of the containers volume or you can be a realist its 100% of all you have now, and the containers size becomes irrelevant!
I like the 100% or whole option.

Answer 3

Finally some one offering realistic choices and thinking in a continuous manner. They may be hope for philosophy yet. It is always merely half a glass of anything, to a realist. Now I will go about " thumb's downing " all the discontinuous answers; those pessimists and optimists, the dichotomous.
