opposed

When two people or things are opposed, it means they are like two magnets that push away from each other instead of sticking together. Imagine you have a red apple and a green apple. If you want to eat the red apple, but your friend wants to eat the green apple, you both have different ideas, or you are opposed to each other.
Think of it like a game of tug-of-war. You pull one way, and the other team pulls the opposite way. You both want to win and go in different directions. That’s another way to understand being opposed.
Imagine two cats that don’t get along. One cat likes to sleep all day, and the other wants to play all the time. They have different likes and don’t agree, so they are opposed to each other.
It’s like when you want to wear your favorite blue shirt, but your mom thinks the red one looks better. You want one thing, and she wants another. These different choices or ideas mean you are opposed.
