Darkness and Light

What Is Darkness?

Darkness destroys and in the darkness the evil things dwell. It consumes all it touches. It is a home for the evil within a soul and with it, evil is manifested. It gives nothing and wants all. Darkness ravages all it sees. It is chaos, it is destruction, it is fear, it is death. Darkness inhabits every corner of this world. It inhabits our very soul.

Darkness seeks out its prey as a shark smells blood, as a wolf hunts a beast, as a man hates his brother. Darkness feels nothing, for emotion died long ago. Its sole purpose is to torture the living. Darkness wants only devastation for it delights only in the agony of others. With darkness comes evil, and with evil, darkness.

These two brothers ravage the world and bring only destruction and death. As they move, a visible path of carnage can be seen. Everything can be distinguished to be good or evil by its fruit. Darkness brings only death, horror, agony, and ruin. It seeks to pull everything living thing into a formless void. That is darkness.

What Is Light?

Light is hope. It is salvation, it is love, it is joy. Light reveals everything for with light comes truth, and with truth, justice. Nothing can hide from its everlasting rays. Darkness cannot hide for light expels the dark. Light is the essence of all that’s good. It is all encompassing.

Light rejoices not with pain and suffering, but with the truth and with love. Light seeks those who are lost in the darkness and saves them. Light is humble in spirit, but is like an angry bear when its children are threatened. Light seeks only the betterment of others and loves all that seek salvation. Light is thing that brings hope in a dark world, for darkness is only the absence of light.

Light is all that we love and hold dear. It is worth fighting for, nay, dying for. It brings hope to a world full of darkness. It loves those who are broken, it heals the wounded, it destroys evil. That is light.
