Juxtaposition

Wikipedia states, in linguistics and semantics, contrast is a relationship between two discourse segments. Contrast is often overtly marked by markers such as but or however, such as in the following examples:

-It's raining, but I am not taking an umbrella.
-We will be giving a party for our new students. We won't, however, be serving drinks.
-The student knew about the test on Friday, but still he did not study.




In my opinion, juxtaposition is the new way to solving problems! I mean, finding new ways in daily life. I mean, won't life be boring if we do the same things everyday?
