    The state of the glass is determined by its beginning state. If it was full and is now missing half, then it’s half empty. If it was empty and now it’s half full, then it’s half full. This can be a metaphor for life as well.

        That’s always my thought on the subject, the glass is completely full it’s just filled with different things
