Becoming (n.) is the work of Aphrodite: desire weds the existent with the nonexistent; when desire is sated, hatred drives them apart — and man says, 'All things pass.'
Being (n.) is, for parmenides, something which does not exist. Light is not the opposite of darkness. In the essence of light, darkness is destroyed and overcome.
Being (n.) is ontologically stable. What is cannot not-be, so being excludes negation, determinacy and becoming.
Being (n.) is uncreated and imperishable, whole, unique, unwavering, and complete.
Being (n.) that truly is must be forever present: one cannot say of it that it was or that it will be, the existent cannot have come to be, and the existent is indivisible.
A Binary (n.) is not a pair of opposites but a more complex relationship. Light is not the opposite of darkness, but, in the essence of light, darkness is destroyed and overcome.
Flux (n.) is the state of everything for the people screamed away, their thinking included, and they seem to have two heads and yet know nothing.
The Individual (n.) in its absolute form can only be reasoned out or told as a myth; you will never bump into it in everyday experience.
Nous (n.) is the faculty through which you look steadfastly at things that are present though absent — for Being never presents itself to the senses.
Opinion (n.) is, for Parmenides, the leftover path: everything that moves, multiplies or becomes is struck from knowledge with one axe-blow.
Other (n.) is, in other words, necessarily 'other than other', just as 'different means different from different'.
Parmenides (n.) comparing light and dark found the dark obviously the negation of the light, and apportioned the weightless to light and the heavy to dark.
