Most considering this phrase would focus on the contents of the glass: the final judgment of the liquid's state being the psychological barometer of attitude adoption. The pessimist, of course, undoubtedly chooses the solid "half empty" stance; the optimist most assuredly opts for the unwavering "half full" mode.
Why do we not consider the vessel itself: The Glass?
The role of the glass is purely functional: its mode of being is unquestionably utilitarian.
It simply is. It functions as it is. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Being filled is satiation, being not-filled is emptiness.
Does not the glass serve the simple master of filling and un-filling? Perhaps the process is the key to the enigma?
Why question the ever-changing fluid contents, when perhaps the simple vessel itself reveals the ultimate answer?

If you drop the glass, it's neither full nor empty. POW!
