Throw this question out to most people and you'd be hard pressed to find many that will give the perceived pessimistic answer of half empty. People over their life times are pressurized by society to behave in an acceptable way and learn along the way what the best way is to make most of the rest of society believe they are doing the acceptable.
When the above question is posed to most people, they have the choice of giving a response that tags them as ungrateful and/or pessimistic or another answer that chiefly makes them out to be optimistic, grateful or both.
Sure someone that is in the half full camp could be supposed to be always striving for more which in some situations can be considered a positive trait. The exact opposite of that is also true, but in this day and age when "it's the participating that counts" and "everyone is a winner", most will jump straight in with half full.
I believe the real test for where someone falls will be to follow them around for a bit and use their actions and decisions to place them either half. Personally, if you ask me, I'm mostly see it as half full and I'd like to think it's not affected much by any desire to not be judged.
I'm just someone who's grown to be genuinely happy with what I get. Some may say it's easier to say so when you're getting good things but that's a story for another day.
What do you lot guys think? I suppose this is where everyone comes out and proves me wrong by moaning about the glass being half-empty.
