I wasn't being silly.Life will always have half and half.Sometimes less.So,it could be either way because the glass saying that it is half full and half empty has to do with how you think.Also,ift seems people are thinking what Wind Rider ~ was just a joke.IT WASN"T.Really,think about it.When I look at life many times I see dread,death,and woe.I'm...............Not going any further.But I could,sometimes I wiew life as good too.But I would say "Half-Empty".Actually the water for me is clogged in my mind...............So I change.

That's right. You should be thinking of the question within the question. When I was 8-9, I used to have two different teachers for two different days. On the Monday, Thursday and Friday, I'd have a really nasty, grumpy teacher whom nobody liked. On the Tuesday and Wednesday, we'd have an exciting, happy teacher whom the class liked. I don't think she liked the grumpy teacher at all. One day she told us all this in a pretty subtle way, to our eyes. She's say that she'd think of glasses being half full, and the other one would see it as half empty. We didn't see the point of this at the time. I was only about 8. She really didn't like our other teacher!

[font=comic sans ms]If you want the real answer from me, then here I go:

My glass is always fluxuating. Sometimes I see it as half full, and sometimes I see it as half empty. Sometimes it's completely full; sometimes it's completely empty. There is no one single mood that can contain me. I WILL CONQUER THE GLASS! T_T

This is confusing some of you. This is 'how do you see life? Positive? Or negative? It is NOT 'What do you see life is itself?'. That would be different. Do you like life? If so, it should be half full. If not, it should be half epty. Although it's just what comes out in normal conversation, it shows what you really feel about life. Next time you talk freely with a stranger remember this can happen with a lot of words so beware!

I say half full, but sometimes when something just go bad, then I would say half empty, but nope. It's full.

I feel my life is a little empty... In my eyes I haven't achieved much and I lack a few things in life which I would like... But I have a lot of things which I am really grateful of which lifts me up.

Optimistic or pessimistic? That is the question!

It isn't whether you think life is halfway or empty or full! If someone handed you a glass with water up to the middle, would you say it is half full, or half empty?

Emphasis: THE WATER LEVEL DOES NOT CHANGE!!!

I change my feelings about this depending on the situation.

Oh I get it. You don't want us to be philosophers. You want us to think inside the box.

In that case, it's half full.

Isn't that a form of Communisim to force us to think the way you want us to?


EDIT: Not you Aimman.

Oops.

Power to the People!

Voice your Opinion!

You have a Voice, you have a Choice!:D

Post redacted

I learned that from Hollywood Ever see "Matrix"?

This isn't about thinking one way, or communism or anything! You are completely changing the question so that it isn't the same question anymore!

Or are you just making us think that? Maybe there is no question.

Look, I'm sure you will all be great philosophers one day, and maybe we should have a topic for it, BUT THIS ISN'T THE PHILOSOPHICAL TOPIC!!!

Psychic Reader - One of you will say something to the effect of, "Or that's just what you want us to think."

i see the glass as half empty and this is meaning that i have a bad point of view on life and i think taht everything in life sux.

I'll tey to help, here by rephraising the question a little.

Are you an optimist or a pecimist!?

half full most of the time.

I'd say neither. It clearly has 50% liquid and 50% air/open space.

Really depends on what's in the glass, doesn't it?

I hope you didn't put anything toxic in it Mega...

Hey, I remember this topic!

I was 12 years old when it started.


SERIOUSLY WHAT ARE YOU DOING

"Those that say their glasses are half-full are considered optimists. Yeah, but shouldn't we be more specific about the contents of the glass? If it's a glass of shit, I'm going half-empty. I don't like shit as an optimist. "Yeah, we gotta half-empty shit glass right here.""

My glass is full of cobras, OH MY GOD FUCKING COBRAS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

My Glass is sitting under a dripping faucet.

And the government steals some water once a year.

Screw them. screw the state, too. Damn parasites.

I dont need them to survive.

Who the hell needs roads anyway?

I am not to sure myself, because I myself have (metaphorically) seen the glass through both perspectives. So, in general, it depends on the mood setting really.
