This is a interesting discussion but this is not a psychological subject. When a metal is hot it will expand, when it is cold, it will contract. There is no way to exist only "half" mechanics for this(based on what we know from science). Like the same as for you to say that you "Win or lost", there needs to have a comparison point.

If you remove the comparison point, just psychologically saying that you "Won" means nothing. Just because you perceive it or not, does not exclude the rule of nature that everything has a opposite. Just because someone never experienced "cold", does not mean that is possible to experience "cold" without this nature law of duality/opposites but you can say it is possible to only experience one side of a duality, like if someone born in a rich family, you can say that he never experienced what is to be poor but he can only experience being rich, because there is the opposite of being poor even he realizing it or not. (This is my perception, i am not saying that i am right).



Basically what i am saying is that, "Everything has a price", you cant experience an opposite, without you or someone else paying the price of the nature duality by having to experience the opposite of what you are experiencing. The price is that for someone to be rich, someone need to be poor. And for you to feel hot (expansion) something is being contracted. Every action has a reaction.
