AnalogyQuote★★★

As in the human body there are antagonist muscles, so in the spirit hope finds its opposite in despair; joy, in sorrow ; confidence, in fear; in short, every emotion has its correlate; and one cannot be fully understood apart from its connection with the other.

Every emotion has its opposite counterpart, and each is best understood in relation to the other.
