I wanted to pick up and continue the Dark Light post theme from several posts back. And, no.. I do not plan to use this post to address the most recent actions of my ex, even though it certainly qualifies. I'm keeping this more of a general post, as it actually applies to many things in my life and the lives of others, so I won't cheaper it by making it singular. It's something I've been wanting to post for a few weeks, so.. here goes.
The saying is that Light is revealing and darkness fears the light. I've found the reverse to actually be more true in reality. Does that sound odd? You might be saying... how can darkness reveal something, if it is dark? Actually, it does is very effectively.
Consider... you enter a relationship and money is flowing and gifts are coming and all is well, and you KNOW the other person loves you... til the money stops flowing or time is limited or more. Pressure rises, and they turn on you or run away. Darkness revealed what the light could not.
Or, maybe, it's a job that becomes something you did not see, after they found leverage against you. Or, it could be hopes or dreams that come face to face with raw power and control. Or, perhaps it is career choices or lifestyle choices that change when you are faced with the darkest days in them.
The reality is that REALITY cannot truly be known without struggle. Until that point, a mutually allowed deception does just fine. People tend to really love their rose colored glasses. I'd advise against it when considering long lasting things like marriage or money decisions. Until you've "been in the trenches" with those things, you really don't know anything.
So, once again, I want to praise darkness for showing more truth than is often found in the light, though many won't have the honesty to admit it to their detriment.
