Physical matter is easy, you know of it's existance because we are fully capable of understanding it's opposite, emptyness. Emotions have it as well, if you never felt hate would you understand love?

So, I challenge you to prove me wrong, can you think of something that has no opposite?

BTW: The opposite of brown, is blue
