Darkness is metaphorically speaking an area in which humans are not comfortable peering into. Darkness is unpredictable. You can't see into the dark...and if you walk into it you can bump into an object or something "might get you". Kids are afraid of the dark...and even you may be afraid of the dark. Maybe that is why we need blankets and flashlights and campfires.

In essence, the darkness in life is something we do not want to go into because we feel comfort and joy in the light. Yet, it is the dark times in life that make us enjoy the light that much better. It is the pain that grows the muscle that bring us closer to pure strength.

So my message to you dear reader is to not run from your darkness, but dive into it and cast a light so that you can see what you're afraid of. And I promise once you do that you will no longer fear the dark.
