Are there real opposites in the world?
Is the opposite of hot = cold? Some people say cold is only a word describing the lack of heat. Same as dark/bright. Is the opposite of bright = dark? Dark only seems to be a word describing the lack of light. So what do you think? (sorry if I confused you in any way  )

well its all sematics and interpretation, and if you look at the connotation or denotation of the word(s)....
but theres also some things like "is life the opposite of death?" or "is death merely the absence of life" or "is death the same thing as life because there is an afterlife"? im confused too....i guess it just depends on your own interpretation |
