That entirely depends on whether I am filling it with joy or draining it of life! If filling, then half full, if draining, half empty.
Cheers, Steve.

I really don't get the way that phrase is used to judge if someone is an optimist or a pessimist.
I'd say it depends on which direction the fluid in the glass is going - if you're filling it up, then the glass is half full; if you're emptying it, then the glass is half empty. My outlook on life has nothing to do with it.

If there's a substance in a tumbler that contains a million/2 of the skill of the glass, then that could be a million/2 complete. it is not a million/2 empty. right this is the explanation... evaluate that an entire glass has a cost of a million. a tumbler, crammed as much as the mid-factor with some kind of remember has a cost of a million/2. consequently, that tumbler nonetheless has fee. a million/2 x a million = a million/2. That fee is a million/2 and it is not empty in any respect. to assert that a tumbler is empty (no substance interior) is to assert that it has a cost of 0. to assert that a tumbler is a million/2 empty is to assert that that could be a million/2 of 0. a million/2 x 0 = 0. consequently, a a million/2 empty glass has no fee. yet all of us comprehend that a million/2 of the glass has mass. consequently, this fact is incorrect. The glass is a million/2 complete, whilst thinking the entire. the different fact is incorrect.

If my glass is in the process of being filled, it is half full. If my glass is in the process of being emptied, it is half empty. Since life is a slow process of dieing I have to say that I am half dead.

It's half full at the moment but has been half empty in the past.

Alternates from half full to half empty or even just empty all the time.

The optomist in me says my glass is half full....
The pessemist says 'sure you've got half a glass left, but your still sober and thats the last of the bottle'

I am more of a "half a glass" person. I just say it like it is.

I always like to think that it is half full, whether my life is going good or bad. Optimism makes me feel better about my life right now, hell it can't get any worse.

Not only is it half empty, but it's cracked. And I cut my lip on the cracked bit. And chipped a tooth.
