Half full glass


Hallo! Hoe gaat het met u? Today will be a simply entry, one of measurements. To take a basic thought, are things half full or half empty? I've thought the expression is somewhat stupid, actually. But perhaps it could be used in different ways. However, when it is used in a figurative sense, rather than a literal sense, can anything really be half empty? When I think of "half empty" I kind of think of "half zero". And what is half zero? Exactly. Half full makes more sense, unless you're really saying that things are just disappearing to nowhere.

Things are always "half full" because there is something as the base, rather than nothing. Isn't there? It's as if one were to say that the physicality of the glass if half-dematerialized rather than half-materialized. In a literative sense, they both mean something different. But since we don't have that technology at the moment (or so they say), I'll move on.

Can we say life is half empty or half full? Well, since it is something, doesn't that require it to be half full (if we want to say anything is half). It's half completed because that is the direction of things, isn't it? But to be more figurative, our emotions are always looking towards fulfillment. So, we're not looking to be in a depressive state, but, rather, an ecstatic state.

What do you guys think? I don't think anything should be considered half at all. Thanks for reading.
