“Darkness has no existence of its own, it is only the absence of light. When the light is present, how can its absence also be there?”- Osho
No amount of darkness can survive in a room full of light. However, you can take the light from a single candle and light a room full of darkness. It is this analogy that we can see that light need not be “afraid” of darkness. All the light needs to do is be present and darkness goes fleeing. But what does all this mean for us?
All it takes is a click on to the nightly news to see that there are people who endure terrible things in this world. Wars are being fought, murders are happening, there are people living in poverty and people getting sick with disease. It is no wonder that some people become angered and offended when you suggest to them that only love exists, that darkness and evil are not real and technically everything is God.
