opposites attracts , as long as love is concerned , as the most imperfect matches turn out to be made for each other , just like needle and thread, both different but when together makes things happen....
other than love , opposite never attracts nor can be together....
Role of opposition (constructive) is to make the entity accountable for their actions , but in reality its not the same , as people oppose for their vested interests or selfish motives (political parties, housing society members)......... there's a thin line that separates self esteem and ego, and to feed that dirty ego good amount of fodder in the form of "opposition" is required.
when Mahesh Bhupati and Rohan boppana opposed to pair with Leander pace for winning an olympic medal for the country , was as good as traitor's act . the irony is when a father wants to oppose to bring up disable child, and wants to abondon his own son Girish on the basis of physical disability turns out to be a silver medal winner in paralympics...perhaps in second case opposition of father has turned out to be a motivation in life to prove him wrong......
i strongly believe there's no thrill in success without being opposed to it , and at times such opposition turns out to be only inspiring factor in life...
its basic right of any person or entity to oppose , but not at the cost of the goodness of the purpose or objective. just like today all political parties opposing decision of government of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) in retail sector, the protest by opposition is for their own benefits of damaging the ruling party and such oppositions without convictions have no value, as FDI in retail will benefit public at large except small shop keepers.
opposition doesn't necessarily mean enmity , but the approach and way of expressions of opposition can mislead and backfire, how Aseem Trivedi was charged with sedition for expressing his mute opposition via animated cartoons...or the film stating anti prophet mohammad made by an American is strongly opposed by entire Muslim world, America stands by the basic fundamental/constitutional right of expressions, but such gestures from both sides are debatable.
opposing an idea also have great such stories as many great inventions were initially opposed , but overcoming such opposition and making it great success is what is i called big turn on for me... opposing to employ Amitabh Bachan in All India Radio was a blunder as the same voice has been greatest asset of Indian cinema & Entertainment....but opposition of some ideas like computerization in 70's before my birth was really uncalled for and unfortunate , as we (Inida) saw the revolution of Information technology very late in 90's.
success is not measured by what you accomplished but how much opposition you have encountered and how you maintained your struggle with great courage against all odds. i respect those who resist me but i just can not tolerate them....
