2) Human mind cannot understand the true nature of a thing, without understanding it's opposites.

3) To understand any of the event , it has to be classified into 2 opposite categories. For example, true - false , good - bad.

4) If any Thesis is proposed , we have to present opposite thesis to prove it wrong. The contrasting thesis is called " Antithesis "
