Not really in this case. It does not explain the fortune although it does show the same one.

The real answer is to eat the fortune cookie and not worry about the cryptic message.

I'm with the simple minds section. Bit to obtuse for me. So it was Google or nothing.

It's Zen. The glass is but in an intermediate state other than broken.
Yes, zen, but perhaps visually when the glass if full it to some appears to be empty. If half full we see the two distinct half. The Waitress sensed that there was a photographer at the table. Carma created the fortune as she handed it to the people along with the check before that it may have been blank; much as Erwin Schrödinger cat** in the black box alive and dead at the same time.
Christians can not sense but the waitress being a Zen Buddhists felt/saw the aura that most Christians attribute to a chromatic aberration. Carma created the saying.
It is important to us as photographers to learn to see

You think it's "full" - all done, complete, finished, no more effort required. As a result, you stop trying, and you never achieve your full potential. Your reach should exceed your grasp.

It basically means the same as the old Mohawk saying "Squirrel with nut in hand is better than moose laughing"

Something that is “full” implies that the subject is complete and there is nothing more that can be added...thus closing your mind to further growth, ie “emptiness”.
"Yet by calling full (complete, done), you created emptiness (nothing more to be learned, gained)."[/quote]

One of the fun things we do when we read our Fortune Cookie to those at the table with us is to add the phrase, "In Bed" at the end. So this one would read, "Yet by calling full, you created emptiness in bed."
