[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 5012443, member: 54707"] I'd certainly agree that things don't have to be what they seem when they're not. But then again things aren't always not what they seem to be when they are. If that means that everything is in the middle of something else then I guess that's true. Then again I guess sometimes it means the very opposite of that. Anywho that all reminds me of an old story...I kinda rephrased it a little. [I]There's an opposite of everything[/I] But nothing very much, Does higher execution bring An Englishman to Dutch, For one considers meek as strong Another strong too weak, The opposite of bland you know Just might be bittersweet; So measured as a measure can You never know what is, But if you don't you surely won't (want) The opposite of sin, For sometimes Virtue is a thing That stands all by itself, And sometimes as a Vice it rings When virtue's been cartelled; For surely hell is full of Vice As sorely it must be, And sometimes Vice becomes a noose To hang up misery, Ah, what the heck, I know it not By verse shall be made true But sometimes something seems one thing, Reversal then construed; And sometimes things are surely not By opposite defined, I read that somewhere once I think And put it in this line, So think that clever, or that not, For who am I to say? Once dark the night is very black - The next as bright as day... I wouldn't absolutely swear to it, but I think there's a joke or two in there somewhere. [/QUOTE]
