Oppositions

As you look around in the world today there are many oppositions that surround us. One of the major oppositions in our lives is the sunlight duration. Without electricity, our daily lives would be considerably shorter because there would be no light after sun down. This may be a good thing to many of us because we lack in sleep hours, but we wouldn't be able to get anything done. As a resolution for the opposition of sunlight duration, we have the option of turning on the lights.

Back when cave men still existed, they struggled to stay alive in the dark because they had absolutely no light at night. Through the invention of fire, they eliminated that opposition of sunlight duration and was able to work longer hours and their days became longer.

Today we are able to work as long as we want because we have light with a flip of the light switch. When it is dark outside, we can just turn the light on and continue on with our activities. This creation of light/fire has made many changes to the human lives just like many other oppositions that we encouter in our daily lives. the way we live, dress, eat are some ways oppositions in different areas can affect us. As we all know oppositions will always be existent in our lives and they will show us the differnt paths that we could take in our life time which will make life more interesting.
