Sounds like a paradox, a statement that seems self-contradictory. The dark side of light. What does it mean to me? Simply the bad things we do to ourselves and others, it's that little devil on your left shoulder and it's what's always holding us back. It's our guilt and conscience when we know we've done something wrong and undesirable. It's our fiend inside ourselves, and sometimes our inside alias, it is our instinct. Let me explain a little before everyone starts cyber-flaming me. This is probably the "dark" side of me coming out in a rather "light" hearted soul.
I can't get over all this fighting and war in our world. I also can't get over this war we declare on ourselves. Why do humans, and animals in general, need the power of concurring? What really drives us? Conflict! Everyone is conflicting over everyone and everything, I feel chaos all around me, I see it in the way people look to me and I even feel a bit confused about it.
Today, I had to get up early and drive to the shopping centers of Benton Harbor. Maybe it's the Christmas rush? Can you imagine what it would be like in The East Side? I have from experience seen the worst in drivers and today, I was having Detroit Flash Back Driving!!! The rode rage, the careless behavior on the roads, have you seen how many people are on the cell phone, putting make-up on and READING while they drive and how people are in a mad dash driving in and out of traffic waiting for an accident to happen. CONCURING! We will only get there about 2-3 minutes before everyone else, that's the power driven rush. Why do we rush? It's such a fast paced world of confusion to begin with. It all comes down to power struggles and this is the "dark" side of humanity.
Because deep down in our DNA, we love war, and power and concurring, and nobody wants to lose or come in second. We crave the challenge, the power to concur. It SEEMS and I repeat, it SEEMS that we love war, disease, cancer, earthquakes, floods, forest fires, oil spills, and serial killers, we must adore terrorists and hijacker's, dictators and pedophiles because it's all sensationalize in the media. Because we love watching it on the news, we read the newspapers and buy the magazines with people lining up beside a long, open grave, waiting to be shot by another firing squad of publicity and publish photos of more everyday people torn to bloody shreds by suicide bombers and the radio bulletins about freeway pile-ups and mud slides and sinking ships, and when airplanes crash, we report it, we make a profit on other peoples tragedies and miseries. People get paid when other people suffer, simply put. The media talks about pollution, acid rain, global warming and famine, or when little children are abducted and brutally killed, we all watch the news, feeding into this sadness. We buy these magazine and newspapers and stuffing the pockets of sadistic editors, writers and politicians who make us afraid, to over-power us by using our fear and intrigue to control us. We buy into it all the time, hook, line and sinker. They make it sound worse, or even lie a little or a lot, to get a better sale or ratings. We are like weeds, we snuff out the good and speed up the suffering and our fast track to "enlightenment" against humanity, it's us against us. Us, the victims of ourselves. We destroy ourselves, it appears that we love war and conflict because it's the only way we'll finish our "work" here, the way we'll finish our "souls" here on "Earth" the big process plant of life and death, the "rock tumbler theory" through pain and anger and conflict we think it's our only path. To what? We don't know! But I still say it's in our DNA, back to the caveman, evolutionists, or ancestors "era", who fought over territory and women, and food . We never learn and it is believed that if we don't learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.
So maybe, suffering and misery is the point of life? I know I repeat myself on this, because I feel so strongly about it. I feel it makes us feel alive. So our soul is an ugly rock, and all the conflict and pain is just the abrasive that rubs us, teaches us and polishes our soul. Knowing this suffering is your entire reason for coming to Earth, so I guess we are eternally stupid... The dark side of light? The answer is a paradox in itself in the way we "love" to "fight" wars, "fight" for world peace, we "fight" hunger, we just "fight" and no wonder we are riding around like a chicken with it's head cut off, driving in and out of traffic with road rage and reading behind the wheel the latest drama unfolding in the world. We fight not only with guns, but with our mouths and that hurts more than getting a bullet between the eyes. We fight over power, money, territory and our planet is never better than it was before. So the news reels of armies marching off to war, with their machine guns and tanks and artillery, maybe we are living the exact way we're meant to live, but each time it's teaches us and betters ourselves. Think "Groundhog Day" (again) with Bill Murray, but call it "Groundhog Life". We humans must better ourselves so we can leave this existence and go onto the next life or plain and take the knowledge we learn here on Earth. Don't know, Apparently I haven't learned my lesson yet cause I am still here on Earth.
Over the years, we've gotten better at fighting. Instead of using our knowledge for the greater good, we use it to build a better war craft. We used to have the B-1 Bomber, the F-17, the B-52, the Black hawk, the Apache, now we have the B-2 Spirit "the Bat" whatever they are, they are better, more stealthier than say, the B-29 Warhog, we make fighters faster, we can't see them on radar, we just keep getting better at it. Yes, war has been fought since the beginning of time, back to the "bible days" So, life really has a dark side, but it also has a light side.
Over and all, I'd like to focus on the good, "light" side in my future. Deep down, somewhere into our consciousness, there is goodness and light. I have faith in that. It's what gets me out of bed in the morning. I really want to see the virtuous benevolent side of humanity. I see it in the smile and laughter of my kids faces, and in the multi-faceted colors of nature and the scent of life in the air. The lakes, streams, oceans reflect the sunshine in a prism of vibrant colors. There is goodness in this sadistic world at times and I do choose to see it for what it is. Beauty and light. I am SOOOOOO not done with this. I will write more tonight!!!
