Is half full and half empty the same thing?

They seem like they would be...

yeah same thing just people debate over the half full/empty thing. lol

yes there is no difference, and I dont know why some people like to judge you as an optimist or not when they see which one you choose to describe the container

that's a philosophical question really...
In reality/practicality - yes...

Yeahh, basically.

Yes

Hi . an optomist would say half empty but a pessimist would say half full .

looking on the positive side , but it really is the same thing . lol.

have a great evening . d

sorry for the spelling errors . no spellcheck here for me yet .

it is all about whether you are optimistic or pessimistic. pessimistic=half empty
optimistic=half full

***it is all about whether you are optimistic or pessimistic. pessimistic=half empty
optimistic=half full***

That depends on what's in the glass...

I gues it also depends on the question or the way is you ask it!
***it is all about whether you are optimistic or pessimistic. pessimistic=half empty
optimistic=half full***
yea..that explains it all!!

I say the container is twice as big as it should be to hold its contents.

in my opinion yes
becauuse no matter what way you look at it, it ends up as the same reason
...
if its half full
you life is half complete (weather it be wasted or not)
but you have half your life left to live
...
if its half empty
youve completed half of it (weather youve wasted it or not)
but still have the other half to live

whoa, never thought about it that way
