Light and Darkness

Light alone can blind you, the luminous flash debilitates your vision, leaving you in the dark.
Being lunged into complete darkness, this too can constitute blindness, for the dark depths itself indicate no direction.
What does this mean?
Purely relying on one element will only lead to blindness, where both optical senses fail and you see darkness  . The paradox of the matter is too much light leads too darkness and too much darkness still puts you in darkness. While both these elements affect the optical organs in more ways than one, the ultimate result is darkness which may equate to nothingness (but this is a whole new discussion for another day).

Light is often heralded, it connotes to holiness, religion, goodness, as well as law and order. Darkness on the other hand is attributed as demonic, evil, corrupt, chaotic and ruinous. While res ipsa loquitur, the attributes need to be examined more thoroughly.Whilst light is connoted to law, religion and organization, the rigidity binds freedom in general, and possibly slows growth of creativity by sustaining certainty that is status quo. Easily light can be used and abused to control the masses and favours those who are capable of such order. Darkness, on the other hand, is often misunderstood. Darkness, though reflected as evil, may actually be necessary evil done, where the end justifies the means as well as choosing between the lesser of two evils. When faced with such a choice, the means and the result will definitely not be desirable but would be better than the other option. Through chaos, creativity, imagination and inhibitions are set loose, it connotes to freedom and willpower.

Absolute order and absolute chaos each stirs revolution with the heart of it's inhabitants; one intending to free himself from dogma and strict rules, while the other, intends to place a limit on the amount of freedom given to all. Hence, in essence, order is merely a heart beat away from chaos.

Learn not only to accept the garish light of day, but the darkness, for if one is absent without the other, one ought to expect nothing but shades of black.
