Open               Close
Run                Walk
Shout              Whisper
Throw              Catch
Movement           Stillness

Do opposites oppose...


Light           Dark
Tall            Short
Fast            Slow
Noisy           Silent
Empty           Full

Which one opposes which...


Front           Behind
Together        Apart
Top             Bottom
North           South
East            West

Do opposites oppose just as similars are alike...


God             Devil
Saint           Sinner
Heaven          Hell
Sky             Earth
Up              Down

Are opposites only opposites because we perceive them to be...


Fire          Ice
Melt          Freeze
Hot           Cold
Steam         Water
Liquid        Solid

Inbetween all opposites is the void...


Clothed         Naked
Ugly            Beautiful
Abstract        Real
Repel           Attract
Hate            Love

Inbetween opposites is where all answers are found...


Adult        Child
Rude         Polite
Stupid       Smart
Black        White
Fingers      Toes

Inbetween opposites is where all things meet...


Male           Female
Mars           Venus
Sun            Moon
Loud           Silent
Dominant       Submissive

Inbetween opposites there is equilibrium for all...
