I think of it as opposite as positive negative. Something like dog - non dog. Non-dog is lots of things.

Sorry, you were joking...funny..haha

Just for everyone to remember what an "opposite" is:
n.
One that is opposite or contrary to another.
An opponent or antagonist.
An antonym.

Opposite of something that IS, is something that ISN'T that. How complicated is that.
Something is something, because its not the other.

It's very simple. It's also complete nonsense. No wonder you think everything has an opposite, since by your definition, every thing is the opposite of every thing else.
Almost nothing has a real opposite. The opposite of light is darkness? Nuh uh. Darkness is just what you get when there isn't any light. If we associated light with the real numbers, and gave a lightwave a "lightness rating" of ten, darkness would be nothing more impressive then zero. The opposite of light--antilight, with a rating of negative ten--does not exist.

Holly shit Sherlock!! No way!

Opposite of light is darkness, and you just said so. Absence of Light equal darkness. Light is opposite of dark.
When there is NO light there is dark.
Dark = no light. (refer to my otehr list)
Dark is opposite of light. Absence of one, creates the other.
Its a perfect opposite in fact.
Way. I don't know why I'd want to continue a conversation with you after that, but I just told you why I disagree with that. You can read my post as many times as you want, if you didn't catch it the first time.
Absence of something is not the same as opposite. Zero is not the opposite of five, whatever you seem to think. Darkness is not the opposite of light.
Opposite is like something positive/negative. It's vague but it is an opposite. To find an opposite to an object like a spoon you would need something living that is not metal and not spoon shaped. You have to narrow it down by asking these type of questions until you have something that is a perfect opposite. Anyone understand because I am still not sure. Cat. Has hair, has whiskers, lives, not metal. Perfect opposite of spoon. But there are more animals that have that.
So i think everything has an opposite
