Shadows

We can not know light with out dark; this is the importance of contrast. Often times, we only look to appreciate the light or that which is beautiful, however the darkness deserves just as much appreciation. We try to ignore and avoid the darkness because it is unpleasant and difficult for most of us to deal with, but familiarity with it is crucial to the understanding and appreciation of light. Is the light not that much more visible and beautiful when paired next to that which is dark? Would we still gaze upon the night sky at the beauty of the moon and the stars if the sky wasn't black? The darkness is unpleasant for a reason; we are not meant to become comfortable there. We are meant to be continually searching for the light. Just as we can only clearly see the moon and stars when they are amongst the night sky, we can only find peace and solace when we have experienced chaos. The darkness should not be taken in vain, for it is the only way we will know the light.
