Do you find this world half full or half empty?

This may come from my faith that the world is corrupted and has been spoiled but at the same time it still has some of its orginal beauty but humanity will not be able to save it because all their attempts will be short term or eventually fall apart.

I say its half full until the time when Jesus will come back.

As for you other tropers Christian or not what do you see the world as?

3 quarters full.

Oh man.

Half Full. Bad things do happen for no reason, but so do good things.

Eh, so-so. Some see the glass as half full, others see it as half empty. Me? I see it as "who the fuck was drinking my beverage?"

Half.

This. The world is neither leaning towards good nor evil, suffering or no suffering. It merely is.

How many threads will we have on "does the world suck/not suck," again?

I see it as about 72% full. We're nowhere near a Crapsack World aka World Half Empty.

Now, if I understand how the whole end of days thing is supposed to work, as an atheist, Jesus will come down an drink my milkshake.

Half Full. Although it may not seem like it, the world is becoming a better place.

Both. I have no reason to expect it to get better, but I have no reason to give up on it, and expect it never to. Whether or not it's a Crapsack World depends on where you are; I'd say that, overall, it is, but it's less so than in the past.

The world's at least half full, in my opinion. There wouldn't be so much effort from people to preserve and support and all that good stuff otherwise.

Half full. Is is not getting worse, and sometimes even gets better

If we disagree, that much, at least, we have in common

Half full and half empty are the same fucking thing. I think perception is everything. Good and bad are in our heads, and our heads evolved to never be completely satisfied.

1/4 full. But more keeps dribbling in, and it will eventually end up full. Or almost full.

Coming from someone else I'd say that's pessimistic.

Neither. The world is too complex to say that it's "good" or "bad".

I have to admit that I lean to half empty, though.

People aren't as awful as the internet makes them out to be.

Quote of the Day, good sir.

I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.

That might be the best quote I've seen all day.

Three Quarter Full

• slavery abolished
• no major war in Europe, Australia and America
• no more headhunting
• no more than 1/10 need work at farm
• no more danger from nomad raiding party
• large number of people live in Democracy
• no famine threat in five continent
• smallpox is no longer a threat
• Internet

The world is pretty nice place to me.

One tenth full, perhaps, and I am being generous here; but filling up steadily.

That's not to say that this is a Crapsack World; but if we compare it to what it could be — what it should be, in other words, and what it will eventually be, then, well, it just does not measure up.

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

Above half-full and getting better.

With cannon shot and gun blast smash the alien. With laser beam and searing plasma scatter the alien to the stars.

Ontopic; I'd say that in the First world, the world was about 99% full from 1992-2007 and it seems that someone is going smash the glass.

Everywhere else the world might seem as about 30% full.

We agree

The world is half full and half empty at the same time.

Blame it on Schrödinger.

I will always cherish the chance of a new beggining.
