On the radio the other day, i heard the question (in the context of happiness) ‘is the glass half empty or half full?’ From my point of of view, the answer would be ‘it depends’. If the glass was empty first, then it would be half full, as soon it will be full. Similarly, if the glass was full, then it will be half empty. If the initial fullness of the glass isn’t known, then you see the third option: The glass is the wrong size for the amount of liquid in it.
