Little food for thought.
From man's point of view, relatively everything has a counter part! A battery has its plus and minus terminal, good has the bad, wet has the dry, like has the dislike and why has the why not, cold has hot, right has left, max has min; etc....
Oh, light has the dark, that is saying, can we see light before it is reflected?
Light is a certain electromagnetic reaction on a surface, that the mechanism is lacking some resonance that occurs within a certain frequency range which we can naturally observe without any aids, normally.
We surmise that light sets the speed limit in our Universe, so far!
Then why is it, no matter where light goes, it always finds darknest was there first?

"It is said that the opposite of noise is silence. This isn't true. Silence is only the absence of noise. Silence would have been a terrible din compared to the sudden soft implosion of noiselessness that hit the wizards with the force of an exploding dandelion clock." Terry Pratchett says it better than me (from The Light Fantastic)

Many of the things that are widely considered to be opposites are actually not, or are only subjectively so, as imatfaal points out.

...And its claws are as big as cups, and for some reason it's got a tremendous fear of stamps! And Mrs Doyle was telling me it's got magnets on its tail, so if you're made out of metal it can attach itself to you! And instead of a mouth it's got four arses!
