Talking about the glass half empty or full has become, dare I say, a cliche at this point. I, for one, never liked the saying much. After hearing it some, I started to think, reallly, it's both, isn't it? It's half empty and half full. Or, actually, it's full if you include the air.
Nothing in life is really one way or another, anyway. There are all kinds of in betweens. And no one is just a glass half empty or full kind of person. Really, someone may be more of one in certain situations or another way in others. At different points in life, someone may tend more often to look at the glass in one way and at other points, the other.
No one has ever accused me of being an optimist. However, lately, whenever I hear someone talk about if a glass is half empty or half full, I have trouble even picturing a glass half-filled with some sort of liquid in my mind. All I can conjure up in my imagination is a glass that is overflowing.
