Opposite Extremes

"What's the opposite of joy?" the teacher asked the student.
"Sadness," responded the student ever so prudent.
Another student was asked, "What's the opposite of depression?"
The student responded to the teacher and answered, "Elation."
"What's the opposite of woe?" The teacher asked a student just waking up.
"I believe the opposite of woe," said the student, "would have to be giddy-up."
