Extremes
Anxiety and panic embed disquietude.
Indifference and ennui inculcate lassitude.
Ecstatic joy and rapture originate rhapsody.
Unhappiness and sorrow propagates despondency.
Affinity and fondness develop relationships.
Distance and antipathy produce isolation blips.
Confrontation and rancor engender enmity.
Fearfulness and cowering makes pusillanimity.
Kudos and recognition show superior acclaim.
Put-downs and denigration are parturient to shame.
Dexterousness and movement promote good agility.
Lethargy and indolence causes muscle atrophy.
Tender love and affection ignite passions of the heart.
Harsh demands and correction lacerates to rip apart.
