Certain Things Do Not Have Opposites

For example, there is no opposite to driving. 'Crashing' cannot technically be termed a type of driving, as it is, more accurately, failing to drive. Similiar to flying. No opposite to flying. Sitting there? Somehow I do not think that qualifies. So what is the opposite of driving or crashing?

Oh yes. That. Sitting here and drinking beer. That will do nicely.

Well, Mr Grip. Good work. So not everything has an opposite. You know what else some things don't have? pet macaques. Driving most certainly doesnt have a pet macaque. It doesnt have any noticable environmental impact either. It also doesnt have a possible exlanation cast entirely in terms of quantum mechanics, let alone string theory. Nor does it have an original copy of Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica signed by Isaac Newton. It doesnt have a 5th harmonic, or 4/4 time for that matter. The point is that there are many things that driving does not have. You have said nothing profound, merely added 'an opposite' to that list.

Well, now i am feeling bad about how negative my last comment was, so I will leave you with something that driving does have: Steve McQueen.

Steve McQueen is the man.
