Opposites

Anger, Love. Sadness, elation. How is it that two feelings, so far from each other on the spectrum, could elicit so similar of responses. More over how can the same items cause similar reactions in life? To love deeply; to be lost in a haze, to stumble over simple words and actions, will bring the greatest man to his knees. To feel immense pain; to be lost in a haze, to stumble over simple words and actions, will bring the greatest of men to his knees. Further still how is it we can love and hate the same things in a person? The way she’s quick to anger; hate; she’s always trying to be the tough one. Love; She is the tough one (she can take care of herself) How is it opposites are called such, yet are so similar in so many ways. Why is it like that, is it just to cause us more grief, or is there another reason that we can’t comprehend? How is it that we can feel such love whilst feeling such anger, at the same thing? Opposites, are they really all that different?
