"Is the glass half empty or half full?" is a common expression, the proverbial phrase, commonly used rhetorically to indicate that a particular situation may be the cause of optimism (half-full) or pessimism (half empty), or as a general litmus test to determine only the individual worldview. The purpose of this question is to show that the situation can be seen in different ways depending on one's point of view and that there may be opportunities in situations as well as problems.
This idiom is used to describe how people perceive events and objects. The perception is unique to each individual and only one's interpretation of reality. The phrase "Whether a glass is half empty or half full" can be understood as well as a philosophical question.
Another perspective comes from psychology, where research has shown that the speaker's choice framework can reflect their knowledge of the environment, and that listeners can be sensitive to this information.
