take height for example. there are two words related to it which is 'tall' and 'short'. well, short isn't really a measurable quantity. you can measure how tall a person is, but not how short a person is.. you get what i mean?
another very good example is darkness.. darkness isn't really darkness, rather the absence of light. cold isn't really cold, rather the absence of heat. No one can measure how dark a room is, or how cold an object, but they can measure how bright a room is or how hot something is...
things that are in a continuum, generally between the 2 extremes, only one thing exists..
stupid and intelligent... stupid doesn't exist, rather the lack of intelligence
good and evil.. evil doesn't exist, rather the absence of goodness
love and hatred..
you get what i mean? yes.. some people might say it's euphamism.. (correctly spelt ar?) but yea.. it doesn't exist
only one thing exist in the continuum, and when it is lower than the average, another term is coined..
talking about average, i did post up one statistic joke involving Mr. Liew right??
Ms. Chia has her own 'average' moments it seems (lol.. i tell you.. Ms. Chia have some of the weirdest PMs ever).. there was once she put up this as her PM
"On average, every person have one breast and a testicles. So what's an average again?"
God Bless~
