If you took a glass and it was filled half way is it half full or half empty?
Ericapp
The glass is actually full. Full of half air and half water.
As for the water content, technically, there is no difference, except as it pertains to the process of filling or emptying, i.e. if it was filled and you drank some, it is half-empty; if it was empty and being filled, it is half-full.

∙ 11y agoThere are many answers to this analogy. Some people perceive that the glass is half full as they are an optimums whereas if the glass is half empty they are pessimistic. Some say that it is always full as it might be filled with a liquid but the other half is filled with different gases. There is also another way that if you are filling up a glass then it is half full but if you are pouring out the liquid or if you drink it then it becomes half empty.
How i perceive this analogy is completely different as there is an answer. It is impossible for something to be half empty. If empty equals zero as there is nothing there and full equals one as it is a whole of something then there is proof to this analogy only being one answer. So to prove this you need to do the maths.
1 x 1/2 = 1/2(half)
0 x 1/2 = 0(nothing)
Therefore it is impossible to have a glass that is half empty as there would be nothing in the glass.

The glass is completely full--half full of water and half full or air.
depends, if the glass was empty and you filled it half way, its half full, if it was full and you drank, threw out, ect. half the water its half empty

∙ 12y agoIt's just a cup......Get over it. Another view - If you look at it as just a glass with water in it then that's what it is. If you put meaning into it then the glass will always be completely full. How full do you want your glass?

As long as it has something in it other than air, it isn't empty.
However, referring to an eight of an inch of water in a glass as empty when asked to pour someone some water is valid.

Who said is your glass half full or half empty?
It depends on who is responding to the question. It also matters if you are filling up the cup, or drinking it.An optimist, focusing on what he or she has, observes what is in the glass - the full half. A pessimist, on the other hand, focuses on what is missing, what he or she doesn't have - the empty half.It is always full. It may be filled with 50% of water and 50% of air, or any variation of competing percentages, but it is always full of something even if it looks empty as it could be FULL of air.It's completely empty until you put something in it.The cup is half full. A glass can't be half empty because half of nothing is still nothingIf you pour water into a cup until its filled half way, the cup of water is half full.If you fill a cup of water completely, then empty half of the water, the cup is half empty.If I told you I poisoned the water in the cup, would it matter if it's half full or half empty?The cup is not half full or half empty. The cup may be 1/8 off of being half full/empty, but it would take mad skill to get the cup exactly half full/empty. I suggest you do not ask a question, but rather a statement, like, "The cup is 1/4 filled." or "The cup is 3/4 filled." I assume you noticed I said "Filled" instead of "Full" or "Empty". But, since there is the one in a million chance that one of us has some crazy awesome mad skill, I guess you should ask "Does the pot have half of the pasta it can hold?" but add "And you can't say if it's filled!". So, the cup is half filled.
