We have been told that an optimist will say the glass is half full. I can, and do believe that to be true.
They’ve also told us that the pessimist will say the glass is half empty. That also computes.
Is it that simple? Can it be a question of “Half empty or half full?” Life is seldom that straight forward and we can see the evidence all around us.
After looking at the results of recent political polling, I have a suspicion. I’m guessing that 30 some percent of Americans would respond, “Undecided.”
But I know that all of these are merely opinions. So take your pick.
If you want to be objective you need to turn to an engineer. The kind of person who has “feet on the ground,” and who is very practical.
An engineer will tell you the obvious. The glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
I’m with the engineer. How about you?
The glass is more than adequate for the need and is transparent, allowing for outside opinions to be given.
An excellent summary of the situation. 😎
I tend to think half empty if I have to pick one, but I agree that things are seldom so simple or binary.
Good observation, Cat. Life does seem to get complicated at times.
It is half full, just waiting for the Man upstairs to put in more til it overflows.
Excellent. :cloud9:
Well in looking at the picture, the top portion of the glass has a greated volume than the lower portion. Not sure what that means.
My best guess is that it means exactly what you want it to mean. :laff:
It depends on what’s in the glass.. If we’re being technical and my glass has something delicious in it and it’s the last of whatever I had then it’s half empty. But if it’s water or something I have a gallon of in the fridge then it’s half full. I guess it’s the same with life, just depends on the situation.
Hi, Lyd. Good to hear from you.
I can’t argue against such power logic and insight. 🙂
I had never considered needing a smaller glass. Problem solved!
That was easier than expected.
