I am a 'new' optimist and think more positive.

Someone should be around soon to fill the glass. So I'm a realist.

LOL, the vote is 7-7 at the moment, what does that tell you?
I am a cynical optimist, OK?
like the song from the Producers: "Hope for the Best, Expect the Worst"...

Truthfully tho, I always try to look on the sunny side of life, but I am cynical when it comes to other people influencing my life, like at work.

It's not half full, or half empty - it's twice as big as it needs to be.

I have double vision, when it comes to the glass.

If you are realistic, your answer may be "The glass is at the half way point" as thats really neither positive or negative :wink:

I haven't even got a glass :lol:

Optimist generally, with occasional cynical undertones (not sure how they would affect the liquid level)

THE GLASS CONTAINS HALF AIR AND HALF WATER.

THE TRUTH HAS NO MOTIVE TO BE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.

Well, what I want to know is where the rest of the liquid went. It doesn't matter if it's half full or half empty---what matters is that it was full when I left and when I got back it wasn't, which means there is someone going around randomly drinking from other people's cups. And that is not cool.
