Another List: Opposites

Inspired by Greek philosophy, which has a great interest in opposites, I have come up with my own list of opposites. Throughout my education I have realised what is emphasised is that we always try to take or understand a 'balanced view' in everything. I think this is very important too. Opposites help us remember this and if we could remember to embrace some, if not all of the opposites in this list we'd be half way there.

I shall add more as I learn more.
