the light and the dark.

THE DARKNESS IS FAR MORE CLEVER THAN THE EVIL WE’VE BEEN SOLD…
BECAUSE
THE LIGHT IS FAR MORE INSPIRING THAN THE LIES WE’VE BEEN TOLD.

I’ve been thinking on this… If the light isn’t very bright, we don’t need a darkness that is very bright either. It’s a little similar to what Brené Brown says in regards to emotions - we can’t just avoid negative emotions - we avoid them all or none of them. They go hand in hand. We don’t get to cherry pick.

I think our views of light and dark are similar.

So we shouldn’t  be afraid to believe in a real smart, real clever, real conniving darkness… one that is probably in our head, manipulating us, right now, even if we think it isn’t… it only means that the light is that much more inspiring, unifying, mysterious, present, and beautiful… and we have a fun journey ahead trying to see it, taste it, find it, and feel it through the shadows trying to mask it.

(Note: Most devils are pretty stupid and most gods are pretty uninspiring. which only affirms in some weird loop the original problem and seems to point to the fact that there is probably some kind of real clever darkness and… thus some kind of big cover-up going on because the light is way bigger than we even thought it could be… and… we’re back into to the loop of the original sentence… : )
