Illuminate the Darkness

In our minds, at times, things may seem dark. Dark thoughts, dark feelings, just dark. We do not know who to turn to for help, or maybe we do not want to burden others with our problems. So, we buckle down and search deep within ourselves for a solution. We will frantically search and search for answers, but to no avail. Reason being is that it is hard to see things clearly with no light. When every corner of your mind is plagued by darkness, it is hard to find a competent solution to incomprehensible misfortune. Seeking something you can’t see is like walking with your eyes closed, you don’t have any sense direction. Without direction, who can tell when you will ever reach your destination? Sometimes we welcome the darkness because it hides the monsters we hide. After all, what we can’t see isn’t really there, right? Wrong, ignorance is not bliss, it is misery. Being unaware isn’t happiness. Just because you don’t know doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be held responsible. At some point in time all of our vices will one day catch up to us. If you spend your whole life keeping them in the darkness, when they do come out and they will, you will not be prepared to face them. Thus, putting an end to your ignorantly blissful happiness, which is always temporary. Unless you seek true happiness, meaningful happiness, then the darkness will always find its way back to you. It would be as if you are living in a never-ending paradox. By illuminating the darkness, you are opening your eyes to the monsters in the closet and facing them in the present so they do not control your future. Illuminating the Darkness means you have taken it upon yourself to be the light in dark places. Once you have achieved that within yourself, then you can be a beacon for someone else. Now you are doing even more than you expected and making the world a better place effortlessly. Taking illuminating the darkness a small step further, after becoming your own light and possibly a beacon for someone who is not a strong as you, shine light on topics that are passionate to you. Especially topics that are easily ignored and discarded because their importance pertains to change rather than profit. Also, shine light on topics people rather be ignorant because they are driven by fear to act or muted by burdening to speak up. Then and only then can we make the world a better place.
