Well, I suppose that even opposite extremes have their extremism in common. I think that's what people mean by such sayings.michel said:I have often heard people say the following:-
"love' is only a step away from 'hate', genius is only a step from 'madness'...I am sure that there are others that could be added to the list.
Do you agree, disagree; if so why ? Any more examples ?

I think too think the emotional reaction to love and hate are in some cases the same, as well as the passion put behind them both.
I think the world revolves around opposites. Opposite skin color, religion and so forth, but the further apart we separate them the more they seem to blend. The strange thing to me though is how any two religions that largly reguard themselves as opposites are so incredibly similiar, take christianity and islam for example.
So yeah, I think opposites really are just a breath apart from each other.
