There is darkness inside each and
every one of us. There is a dark side of everyone, the side that we rarely let
people see. Some of us use it as a shield
to hide behind, as something that will prevent us for further painful
experiences of our daily encounters while others use it as an excuse to do
things that will leave the rest of us puzzled. Our dark side is part of our souls that
is damaged by trials and at-tribulations of our daily lives. But what is darkness
anyway? For those who are expert in science may define it as a situation where there
is absence light but for those of us who are familiar with it in our daily life will
define it as a period where the past no longer illuminate the future while others
will assure you that darkness is subjective; it depends on ones view point and
there is no such thing as darkness but failure to see.
Scientist say that light travel
faster than anything else in this world, what they seem to miss is every time
the light arrive at it destination it finds darkness waiting for it to arrive. The
same thing with our lives today, before you get to know the goodness of
something you must dwell in trouble having to live without it. Sometimes we
find ourselves in a very dark corner and we don’t know how we ended up in that
place of how to find light. In this darkness we may find others who are also
struggling with their own darkness and sometimes we lose people who are important
to us when struggling to find our way towards the light. It is never easy to fight darkness since it does not
leave us as soon as we believe it will, maybe it is because as we dwell longer
in our darkness we get used to it and we forget the importance on of light.
If you have been in the darkness
and you have dwelled in your darkness long enough then you know how difficult
it was for you to take a first step towards the light. Perhaps it is because we
both know there are two possibilities when you decide to take a step, either you step on something solid and
in to the light of a fall it the deeper darkness that will force you to believe
that it wasn't the light that you were looking for but the certainty that there
is only darkness in this world. Either way there are times when we must decide to take the risky to find light and all its beauty, some will
say the decision to find the light is not due to the goodness and the beauty of
light itself but because we are terrified with what might be in the darkness.
Dear diary, when we list expect
it life set us a challenge to test us, it doesn't care the kind of test it set before us because every creature
who has life must at some point prove that they are worthy of the life that
they posses. This test might take you from the light into your darkness of the
vice vesa. In those moments there is no need to pretend that nothing has
happened but to own the situation and find our way out.
In my struggle to find my own
light I have come to realization that most of us get used to live in darkness
until something flips the switch. It is easier to pretend that the darkness in
us does not affect than to find the courage to fight it. You can always say or
pretend you are not hurt but the stones you stumbled in when trying find your way through the dark. But someday when you are alone lying in your bed and you begin to
re-examine your life, you will begin to silently grieve for you own cowardice. This
will continue until you decide to take a step towards the light risking
everything over and over again until you find it.
Darkness even though considered
bad it has important role to play in all our lives. Without it would have been
impossible to appreciate the light and everything it has to offer. for today
let me end here...see you soon.
