I'm trying to remember who but there was a philosopher who said that if nobody trusted anybody they couldn't be lied to because nothing they were told would be trusted as true. Which is along those lines. It's actually really interesting to read about.
Seems like alot of things need two to signify a difference.... weird thinking to be honest.
No, actually that is completely logical.
If you don't have more than one of something, there is no difference. It's all just the one.
And in order to be able to navigate, we need more than one "all around" direction. If there is only "that way" and more specific directions are impossible (including pointing in the right direction), how would you find something?
well yeah you need two different things to signify one but why not three?
You can have three. Speaking in directions again, we generally have four. It's just not necessary with more than two to signify the difference, because when there's two there is a difference between the two, and the third does therefore not create the difference, it just adds another.
You cannot experience happiness without having experienced sorrow.
I'd say you can, but if you know how unhappy feelings feel you'll probably appreciate the happy more.
Well, there isn't always two. 3 dimensions for example, or 4 in the case of north, south, east, west. It just so happens that alot of things have two. But the thing is like light and dark, for example, some of them only have 2 because you're taking away the one thing that exsists.
Because you 'need' a direct opposite. Light and Dark. You got the direct opposites, and not just some degree of opposition. The same with East and West...
With emotions, well, many say love and hate is opposite, but both are strong emotions (which makes them similar), and the opposite would be feeling nothing. To truly not care a bit.
