Blinded by Darkness


In the light we see darkness In the darkness we see light But what light? A light bulb is not the sun, but one who has not seen the sun knows no difference between the two. And what is light but the absence of dark? Is the light in the darkness really a true light or simply lighter than the dark that surrounds it? Beware the false light, For in it you can never find the true light. All you can see now is the darkness surrounding you.
