I am willing to concede that there is a meaningful sense in which happiness and sadness each do not have meaningful opposites, although for most purposes I think it's more practical to treat them as opposed. But I deny that there is any sense in which boredom is the most appropriate "opposite" for happiness, or that dismissing an opposite candidate as being "another side of the same coin" is a creditable insight.
