Wink Glass half full or half empty?

This is a bit of a nonsense question really, put helps to point the mind to the errors of duality. If a glass has water in it up to the halfway mark, is it half full or half empty?

Well, I could say it's neither, as it is full of water and air. I could say it is always full, whether there is water in it or not, as air fills the space. I could go full on Non Duality and say there is no glass, or ask who is thinking about it.

A trick answer for a trick question. It's both half full and half empty.

Regardless of which way we choose to answer, the glass will always contain the same amount, the answer will represent our view of the world. Imo....

Well, since the question is merely meant to gauge whether you have a positive or negative outlook on life, and you avoid the answer and instead seek another way out, I'd say your view is evasive

There is no me...and there is no glass.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

That's why I asked in the other thread "Who isn't Krishna". LOL!
