An individually delineated thing can only find meaning in relation to other individually delineated things. On a simple level, one can only grasp the meaning of the word good in relation to the word bad. One might observe that within the word good there implicitly resides the presence and influence of the word bad and vice versa.
The relatedness and inseparability of seemingly opposed and isolated things was stressed by Friedrich Nietzsche in Beyond Good and Evil "It could even be possible that the value of those good and honored things consists precisely in the fact that in an insidious way they are related to those bad, seemingly opposite things, linked, knit together, even identical perhaps".
