Dictionary deffinition: a personal belief or judgement that is not founded on proof or certainty.
Does that make all things opinions? Are we sure of anything? Even our 'facts'?
My view of this is that everything is an opinion, but it takes the form of a fact because it has an opposite. Meaning, we know what white is because we have black to compare it to, we have love because we have hate to compare it with, we have death because we have life to compare it with.
Does this mean then that if we didn't have one we wouldn't have the other, if we didn't have hate. would we still have love? 'Do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone?'
*Kiss*

You just made me admire your topic , full of fantasy , a good recipe for the weekend. In fact your topic teases the mind , falling back into daily imaginations about this life we are living. Your topic is so scientific and it reminds me of the of relativiness of things in life . However , I believe that in life there are certain things you just have to look at them and understand the way they are .You don’t ask for no more qualifications and knowledge otherwise in pursuit of applying our theoretical knowledge to seek for what we think these things should be will eventually make us deliberating an issue from without. At one time or another you will come to realise that all these opinions , constructions and laws connecting the life that we are living may as well be arrived at by the principle of just looking for the mathematically simplest concepts and the link between them. Of course you are right and wrong to say black /white , death/life, love/hatred are mere opinions but listen to this : all these primary impulses you call opinions which cant easily be described in tangible words, are simply the springs of men's of real actions. Despite the fact that whatever a man says is subject to critic , in this instance we are starting to deliberate an issue that will make all of us hazy .
FOOD FOR THOUGHT FOR THE WEEKEND:
Any Malawian man who can drive a car safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
