In your perspective, is the glass mostly half full or half empty? Explain?

Answer 3

Glass? What is this glass I keep hearing about?
I have a plastic cup.
Is that the same thing.
Sometimes I've heard of a cup being called a glass.
If it's the same, I drank my glass and in a bit I will fill it up again.
Who cares, half empty, half full, I little while it will be all empty and then all full.
Philosophy cracks me up.
