When people are asked to choose between something that is "light" and something that is "heavy", most people will answer that they prefer something that is not too heavy or too light. However, it would be difficult for most people to choose when asked which one is the positive word: "light" or "heavy." Many words and their antonyms often have a positive or negative meaning to them, but does not seem to be the case for the words "light" and "heavy." When we say, "That person is both light and heavy," we can easily tell what the person is like without getting confused. When we go through life, both "lightness" and "heaviness" are necessary. In my life I often thought about the balance of the two words and become miserable with the fact that I couldn’t find a matching point for the two words.
