Fear No Evil

When darkness descends upon an object, it does not actually change that object. It alters our view of that object, rendering limitations of our relationship to its reality. Therefore, it is not always the object that is in need of changing. Like a dark storm cloud that bodes no good, it is the darkness that must be identified, exposed, and expelled. The presence of darkness seems to have the word fear painted on every inch of its face and uses deception most cleverly. Notwithstanding, one must penetrate the darkness by casting light upon the object to define its reality. It's like an early morning sunrise wrapped in breathtaking hues, bringing tidings of life and joy to the dawn and shouting hellos to the planet. Moreover, the power of the light must be greater than that of the darkness. When light and darkness encounter each other, the darkness is exposed and destroyed by the light.
