A logic question
What is the opposite of being that is not just the negation of being?

It all depends on whether you believe in a monist or dualist universe.

Monists tend not to believe in opposites. They believe that what we call the opposite is simply the presence or absence of a thing.

"Nothingness" just like "infinity" doesn't actually exist in the real world. It only exists on paper, in theory, and in our imaginations.

do you also wonder what is the opposite of heat that is not just the absence of heat and what the opposite of light is that isn't just the absence of light?
