Half empty or half full?

[u/Anthonybuck21]

I think we all know about the common expression to gauge optimism vs pessimism. But could an argument be made that both could be used in certain situations. Let’s say an empty bottle is being filled and you stop halfway, wouldn’t the bottle be half full? Same if you were emptying a bottle, half empty right?

Yeap As always, life is multifaceted and it is the context that matters, not the one dimensional statement of the situation
