thought for the day.
the quintessential question has been asked of me again:
"is this glass half empty, or half full?"
to end this lousy "mystery" once and for all, the correct answer kids is neither. or potentially both. unless you have measured the water precisely and to the exact mililiter of the glass' maximum capacity vs. current capacity with precise laser technology and/or scientific measuring equipment, the glass is neither "half" empty nor "half" full. technically speaking, as my mother loved to point out "there is no such thing as a 'bigger' half." if the glass is half empty OR half full, logic dictates and scientific fact allows that it must by default be both half full AND half empty at precisely the same moment and occupancy of space by the offending liquid. otherwise, it is neither half empty nor half full because it is not HALF anything and, thus, is either MOSTLY full, or MOSTLY empty, again dictated by simple scientific method and irrefutable FACT. there is, in reality, no issue of perception or subconscious crap to logically confound people as much as it does. there you go. that's your friggin answer.
now DROP IT.
