The more I thought about this concept the more I realized that a lot of the time the symmetry comes from the presence of the opposite of any given thing.  Good vs. Evil; man vs. woman; light vs. darkness; and so on….it’s why we look for something yet to come in a movie, we’re not satisfied until we’ve been on the emotional roller-coaster.  We just can’t seem to get closer or don’t feel complete until the opposite of something is present.  Which takes me back to a theory that I’ve had for quite awhile, it just seems to make more sense now.  I have thought for many years now, that the definition of a word is not necessarily as important as knowing it’s opposite.  Without an opposite something cannot exist…I’m sure there could be holes in this theory…but it makes a lot of sense for most things…think about it, something like hunger…if being full didn’t exist, there would be no point to hunger, it simply would be and therefore wouldn’t exist…it would just be a part of our living condition. 

Do things exist without their opposites?  Or do we just not feel complete until we get the opposite and therefore don’t recognize something until the opposite has been made clear?
