Do you see the glass as half full or half empty? If your answer is “half empty”, you have a problem ok calm down be more positive. If your answer is “half full”, you’re wrong sorry to say. “Well then what is it smart guy?”. Can’t say in this paragraph to so keep reading. And what will you read well I divide it into three supports and these will be. The answer of the glass, why this question shouldn’t be asked, and what it should be.

“Alright I’m still reading why am I wrong?”. Well because the glass isn’t half empty or half full if we think about it logically and actually the glass is both half full and half empty. Or it’s neither of them which is what I think this terrible glass is just filled to the middle that’s it. It’s not really halfway to the top of halfway to the bottom. And what happens if I tip the glass then what is it? It’s nothing. There’s no correct answer to this question it has so many dumb loopholes. And this isn’t geometry there’s not more than one answer no one likes geometry. And I don’t like this question it has no real meaning or answer.

I’ve already stated why this question is stupid and it ties into why it shouldn’t be asked. But I need another paragraph so lemme take it farther. Now this question doesn’t have an answer we established that. People answer this question thinking that it has to do with if they’re a positive or negative person. I see how that works but in the end it just isn’t really saying that when the “correct” answer could be either one. They way you perceive someone's answer is your problem not theirs. People don’t always have to be a negative person to answer half empty either, maybe they’re just having a bad day. I can say the glass if half full and smile and what that means I’m a negative person? People can take this question and make it into a joke. Which is what most people do that’s why it isn’t a good question anymore and no one really takes it seriously.

This glass question or quote should be changed. “Your glass is connected to all the people in your life and from the beginning it is full, but sometimes someone pulls and it tips and water spills out. And then someone comes around and refills it.”. That’s my attempt to change it that’s my perception of this glass and how it should be. And it’s true that you could be having a bad day as I stated and that bad day is caused because of someone weather it’s yourself or someone else. And that makes the glass spill. And for some people it falls over all the way. And that’s where depression is. But to get there it’s usually yourself not someone else that causes that to happen. And the only one that can pick up and refill that glass is you. No one else has the ability to do that it’s not allowed they have their own glass to worry about. People can help you with this but no one can do it for you. You need to get up and fill it yourself and then it will be restored. As in life you don’t need other people to do things for you. Know when to ask for help like all the most successful people in the world did and still do. But when it comes to doing something that’s all on you, no one should or can do it for you. And sometimes this glass is tipped accidently by you or someone. In that case be calm and solve things because people feel bad for things they do to others. So you don’t need to get to mad at them. Their insides are hurting them you don’t need to aswell. Just sort it out and get that glass refilled as quick as you can.

Your glass should never be in the middle. It should never be half full or half empty. It should be at the filled to the brim all the time. If not there’s a problem and you should work quickly to get it filled up before it evaporates into nothing. The question is your glass half full or empty is an unanswerable question and is very irrelevent and made fun of in this day and age. And your glass should be filled to the top but it is connected to everyone you choose to let in your life and those people are the ones that can tip your glass and spill some of it. You just needa get it refilled quickly. And those are my thoughts on this question. No one can correctly answer this question don’t ask it! If you wanna know if someone's positive or negative ask them lol.
