guru, how much does your water weigh with the glass?

My glass is full. Would you like a sip of freshly made iced tea?
As this tasty drink empties from the glass, it is still full. When the liquid is at the halfway mark, the other half of it is filled with sweet-scented air (reminding me to soon make more iced tea). Just because I cannot see the air inside the glass doesn't mean that it's not there.
Something has to fill up the space left behind by my drinking the liquid. The form of what is left, then, inside the glass is gaseous.

My glass being half empty or half full depends on what is in it. If I like what is in it it is half empty if I don't it is half full. Thus to much of a bad thing and not enough a good one. That Is why you should select my glass and I as best answer.

Is the water half full or half empty? The water will always be full, no matter how much of it is contained in the glass. It is only the glass that can be half empty or half full.

It depends. Sometimes my glass has been empty & shattered in pieces on the floor. Sometimes my glass has been full & overflowing. Such is the ebb & flow of life.
Optimists say half empty, pessimists say half full, realists say it depends whether it was poured halfway or emptied halfway. I say it depends on the day but I am learning to be positive. I am learning to see my glass as half full. To choose to see the positive rather than the negative.

Philosophiically speaking, it's both. It's just another anology of the two polarized extremes that are essential to make manifest all things in the middle. Yin and Yang, black and white, light and dark. We need that contrast to see how things really are. Who can say whether one or the other is negative or positive. For me I can sometimes identify with 'half full' as prosperity and abundance and 'half empty' as opportunity to work towards my don't haves. Whether they are materialistic, spiritual, and so on, doesn't really matter.

It is all how your state of mind is. To me at the time you get a glass filled half way it is how your mind is thinking at that moment. How are you feeling at the time you get the glass, down or up or just feeling inbetween. It's just like anything else you feel.....it is all in your mind being.

Half empty and half full are judgments about the nature of our thinking.
I have a glass with water.

It depends on how the glass got that way - did I pour (it's have full). Did I drink (It's half empty)

Depends on how good of a day I had. Half empty on a crapy day or a half full on a good day or the waiter called luck can screw with my glass
