Is your glass half empty or half full?

So, someone takes a glass and fills it half-way to the top and asks you, "Is the glass half empty or half full?" what do you say? No matter how you answer, you've told the person something about yourself. A person who answers "half empty" could be telling the person that they are hard to satisfy - it's never enough. It's related more to the negative.

On the other hand, a person who answers "half full" is saying they're happy with what they get - it's more positive.

With that in mind, I considered my position on the matter today. I came to the conclusion that while my glass is half full, I'm not altogether happy with what's in it.

I'd like to think I'm the glass is 1/2 full type of person. Though somedays that's harder to pull off than others. Just depends. :)

These days, I'd like to think I would drink what is in the glass and ask them to get me some more while they're up. LOLOL

Seriously, my glass is half full, but I'd like there to be more. :)

If air counts as filler material, then the glass is all the way full. =D Okay, geek be gone!

It depends, honestly. If there's chocolate milk in the glass, it's half-full because I still get to drink the rest of it.

If it's alka seltzer (bleh!), the glass is half-empty and dammit, do I have to finish it?

If it's just pretty colored water, it's art. :)
