The glass is half empty or half full.

Your existence is half empty or half full.

Which is it?

Your existence is a living hell or heaven on earth.

Which is it?

You're living paycheck to paycheck, or have no money worries.

Which is it?

Your bank account has "X" amount, or it has "Y" amount.

Which is it?

Are you asking whether our existences are half empty or half full, or are you asking what it means to have a half empty or half full existence?

Neither. Existance is eternal which makes your assertions moot. It can never be empty nor can it ever be full nor really anywhere in between....


There is no 'half.' There is no spoon either...

If it is truely half full, it is also half empty. To ask which is it is a bad question.

There is an assumption here that existence is half full or empty. But I don't get that assumption to be able to answer or ponder the answer.

It's some of each, in a yin/yang way.

yes infinitethoughts, what we perceive is always a choice. That choice is made through our beliefs and self concepts.

so, when you ask yourself "Which is it?" you are really asking yourself what it is you choose to believe. and glory be, beliefs can change!

My glass contains 50% of it's possible capacity.

Okay, now it's empty. But it was delicious!

Either that or the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

No. I'm pointing out who decides whether it's half empty or half full.....and the importance of this in your entire existence.
