epitome of incomprehensibility
|
This is a fairly difficult concept to explain. Things that go together, but are set against each other, that exist interdependently, like negative and positive. A child under ten wouldn't understand me if I said it like that. I suppose I knew what an opposite was intuitively, or rather by example, before I could really explain it. They give you examples as early as kindergarten. I remember being very young and indignant that a worksheet listed "sun" and "moon" as opposites. Day and night are opposites, I thought, but not sun and moon; and I couldn't really explain my reasoning.
