Yes, everything has an opposite, it's incredibly simple if you think about it. Gather round and I shall tell you a tale...Someone brought up a Piano, well the obvious opposite of a piano is a 'onaip'. The obvious opposite of Evil Dead or "jeff" is Daed live or ffej.
The opposide of Ya Krunk'd Floo is oolf d'knurk ay.
That's right, my friends, my wisdom knows no bounds.
What about the opposite of "Mom" or "Anna"?
As I have mentioned before, as far as my belief goes, opposites are the same in nature, but different in degree.
Which would make dad opposite of mom and a male opposite of the female.
My belief in duality leads me to believe in opposites. If you don't believe it, its cool.
If you would like to know more why I believe in it, we cna continue this convo, but if you're trying to ''prove me wrong'', its redundant.
It falls in the same category as attempting to change my mind regarding Karma, for example.
Well... Mother and Father are not even at different ends of the spectrum, surely the opposite of the Mother would be Child going by your belief.
I'm not trying to prove you wrong, I couldn't give a shit. I'm just interested in this disscussion. Whether you're wrong or right is totally irrelevant to me.
I didn't enter this conversation to debate with you... My orignial post was not directed at you in the slightest, you just responed. So the last thing I want to do is change your view on it....

I guess it would be a line, although I would have to think about this. I am not in a full knowledge of the philosophies, to be able to find an answer to all.

Lil, if that's your belief of opposites, where do actual opposites fit in?As in, the opposite of 2 being -2, push being pull, etc.
Im not sure I understand what you mean?
One fact describes every universe: the opposite is also true. This fact articulates, and is, a circle. A circle is a set of twos that make a one.
Idea 1: Everything is a circle (in form). Circles hide, protect, and are, eventually, lines. A circle symbolizes unity, stillness, conservation, form, survival. A circle is a set of circles.
Idea 2: All circles express as lines (in, and as, substance, a circle moves toward or away from another circle). Lines hide, protect, and are, eventually, circles. A line symbolizes polarity, movement, symmetry, substance, expression. A line is a set of circles.
Idea 3: Circles and lines can never be separated. Still, they can never 'know' each other completely. The circumference of a circle hides and protects a diameter, and the opposite of this is also true (forever). There are no circles without lines, and no lines without circles (every line is the diameter of some circle). If we see a line, a circle's hidden, and if we see a circle, or a curve, a line is hidden.
Idea 4: There are no other ideas.
Circles seem to be interesting

Thlis last link is kinda strange.........hmm
Though I think maybe the opposite of a circle IS a line.

I think what Trick was asking is that if your idea of opposites are things that have things in common like "mom" & "dad" then where do other opposites that don't have things in common fit into your idea.
Oh I see what you saying.
All opposites have something in common. They need to be of same nature, but different degree.
Maybe it would be better illustrated if someone gave an example of opposites which arguably are believed that do not hold anything in common.

This post has made me loath philosophy so much... How pretentious you got to be to believe a circle represents unity, stillness, conservation etc...
