In order to reason, using the tools of language which requires syllogism, we love to make opposites. Antonyms are the easiest way to understand. The terms draw imaginary lines in imaginary sand.
It suits the structure of the human mind.
A clearer understanding of reality is to realize many of the paired antonyms only describe different ways of expressing the same emotion.
Love and Hate are the same emotion. One does not exist without the other.
Opposites are not opposites. The terms merely describe different sides of the same circle.
To understand the dynamics of a pair, you have to explore all sides of the circle.
