A thing or thought could not be separated from its opposite. For example, the slave cannot exist without the master, and vice versa. Then, eventually, unity would be achieved by equalising all opposites. Intriguing. Now discuss!
yes i agree, we live in a dualistic plane, and i think the harmonization, lies in the mind...and isnt that an ancient universal theory, yin-yang
I'd think the opposite of drought is monsoon, but I see what you're implying. However, I don't think such a comparison is the same as the topic at hand.
I think Hegel stated the obvious. The universe is made of language, and each word has an antonym. I think if one viewed the universe without the glasses of language, they would see no opposites, but rather - unity. Cheers.
Although I think language creates a barrier in some ways I don't think that we'd encounter total unity. There are a few other things that create more of a barrier than language.
everything does sort of speak a language of its own. but human language does create a lot of barriers, i agree. words are merely a way to convey meaning. the word apple is not the apple itself, it is like a metaphor, just representing it. the map is not the territory, can ya dig it?
Indeed... but one must go further and question the cartogropher him/herself. Be the artist of your life...
can you have love without hate? it doesnt appear be so. look at the world now. how much is love and how much is hate? the more the world gets full of hate the more people like us need to love. the more we love the more they hate. hmmm
Hate=Fear And i think language is a beautiful thing, its about the feeling you get from the words, the barrier is created by our own perceptions
i dont believe hate is fear. i think it comes from other places. but im not going to go into it right now becuase i can hardly speak let alone foigure out a sensible order of words for this
i think a lot of hate is derived from fear. so are a lot of other negative things, such as jealousy(fear of someone else having more), greed(fear of not having enough).... they can usually be summed up into fear.
Agreed. Hate is not possible without fear, take for example fear of heights would equal hating climbing trees, climbing a rock wall or doing a high ropes course.
to me hate and all those other things, are fear of self harmonization, fear of what oneself could be, if they let their intuition take hold
it sort of works, but your examples aren't what i consider fits this theory take dryness....how do we know something is dry? because it has no moisture... take dampness...how do we know something is damp? because it has moisture... if there was no dampness, we would know no different from dryness the thing with this theory is, is that it relies on things being pure. apart from theory, i would hazard a guess that virtualy nothing is pure, so bang goes the theory...works in principle though
