There is another group of people.

Many say the glass is half empty, many say the glass is half full, but it's possible to be so optimistic you see the glass as overflowing. These people are over-optimists, and should be avoided at all costs.

In a world where Murphy's (sod's) law is more universally accepted than Darwinian Evolution, maybe people should be divided into optimists and realists...

What about the people who see a glass and think "Hey! Something to drink!"? Are they just idiots, or the clearer thinkers, free to drink without worrying about its connotations? Then later they get mono and the pessimists and optimists share half full glasses over it.biggrin
