The Dark and the light.

I have always believed that there is an angel and a demon within each of us. I have always wanted to find out what helps these demons grow and why they wilt away in the blinding light cast by the angels. This has resulted in my fixating on the darkness in people's souls and the decayed grounds it feeds upon.

In a way, this is what gives me an insight into the hearts and minds of people. But I have to agree. There is no point in learning the ways of the dark, when you have no knowledge of the light that can be used as a weapon against the dark, in the first place.There is no dark without light and I don't know why, but a part of me feels that the light feeds the dark and the dark feeds the light.

There is no basis or proof for the afore mentioned theory. But don't you think it's possible? You can sometimes see examples of this in certain situations in life. For example, Dr. Jacob Jack Kevorkian ( Dr.Death) thought he was doing people a favour by administering euthanasia. Of course, in his skewed perception, he was doing the right thing by ending the pain and the torture the person was facing. But, I feel that there was something dark that was feeding his beliefs. Of course, I'm no one to pass judgements on what other people believe to be the right thing to do.

Each one of us does things, which according to us, is the right thing to do. Even though there will be no ill will or bad wishes in certain situations, things have a way of appearing dark and dreary and sometimes just wrong. A person's mind is an ocean of complexities. Just like an ocean, it sometimes is a tempestuous place, rocked by confusion and emotions. So, though we are not psychopaths or plagued by mental disorders(as per the correct definition of the terms), we sometimes do things that others do not or cannot accept.

What I am trying to say is - the dark within each of us, makes a part of us. The light within us negates these dark ripples to a certain effect. It is the proper amalgamation of the two that makes us pure and good. But, that is not truly possible. For it is both the light and the dark that make us human. It is this very quality that helps us understand the intricacies of human thinking and behaviour. It is this darkness that we all fear, that makes the victory the light gains by destroying it(dark), all the sweeter.
