Guys, I'd like to know your thoughts about the difference between HALF-FILLED and HALF-EMPTY.

They are the same thing. The difference is in how a person views it. Some people view the glass as half empty, as missing something. These people tend to have a more negative outlook on life and a negative mindset, always finding the wrong in a situation.
Others see the glass as half full, they don't focus on the missing, but rather focus on what they have. They tend to be more positive minded, always seeing the good and assuming the best of a situation.
So its really just a matter of interpretation. Are you more pessimistic (half empty) or optimistic (half full)?

I'd say that the glass is at 50% capacity.

I think in my opinion it would be half filled i always try to see a positive side to everything. it may not work all the time but it gives me the power to keep moving forward. child abuse, cancer they were not strong enough to defeat me the lord was with me the whole time and because of that i always found a reason to be happy and i praise god for that. I want everyone to think like that it really helps, true there are times when I am very depressed But as strong as the depression gets I think because the emotions are so strong is why when i find joy in the lord it overwhelms even my fellow christian's. i truly Love my god and i want to be a huge part in his glorious plan

let me give my own thoughts. Well, I would say I am both. I am half filled because when the time comes that my cup is full my tendency is to give more so that others would have. Until such that I become half empty. Thus, makes me seek to be filled so that I can give.......In flows and out flows..........if that make sense.



Glory to God
