Do you think of the glass half empty or half full? If you think one or the other impossible say so and say why.

It all depends on wether I am going up
or going down.
I learnt a new language and at the end i was half full.
I stopped practising the use of the second language and now I am half empty.

Since I am a pessimist by nature I always look at the glass as half empty. I mean really, why say it is half full when it's more than probable that the glass will continue to empty. If you think about glasses are more often than not drank out of, which means the process in which the level of liquids tend to move is down.. Therefore, pessimism can be logical.

Why? The posit is a false dichotomy due to discontinuous thinking. The only realistic answer is that the glass is half a glass of what ever.

i think of it this way...
the glass can never be EXACTLY half empty or half full.
what i mean by that is... depending on how you feel on that day the glass is always a bit over half or a bit under half
:D
like today the glass would be a little over half...cuz its a good day

Being a realist that tries to see things exactly as they are I see the glass half empty.

It depends on what is in the bottle. If I like it a lot, then it becomes half empty.

More along the lines of the engineer, I think "too much glass."

it depends on the situation.
If I'm full then I think of it as half full.
And when I'm hungry, I think of it as half empty.
I gues it's because I want to have plenty of food infront of me when I'm hungry. And if I only have half of something, I feel like I need more and I would think that it's half empty.
And when I'm full, I will think of it as an extra amount that I feel like I have left overs and I will probably feel, it is half full.
