An inevident choice

If you have to choose between darkness and light, what will you choose?
On one hand, there is light which gives you the power to see and distinguish. It helps us unravel the beauty which earth beholds. From chirping of birds on trees, blossoming of flowers to the change of seasons; one can see it all and can cherish the vagaries the nature has in for us.
While on the contrary darkness makes you blind, it hampers your vision. You are not able to differentiate between the sky and the ocean or the earth. We might loathe darkness for all the falacies and the visual impairment concomitant it, but one must not forget it is the most impartial thing that could ever exist. It doesn’t distinguish between the vastnesses of the sky or the depths of ocean, no matter the how big the difference is, in their appearance or in their nature it treats them equally. Colour holds no meaning for it. It treats everyone equal and embraces everyone with impartial and unseen love. With all the hullabaloo of racisms I tend to think it’s better to be in darkness rather than be in light. What is the advantage to be in light when all you see is a mirage or an illusion? Why is light needed, when we are illusioned by the color of the skin and the countenance of people? It would have been all better if we all would have been in darkness; at least the reason to kill just on the basis of differentiation would have been lost. But , as being rightly said by Socrates "Truth doesn't change over time but remains constant regardless of situations in life”, same applies good for human beings, even if it would have all been dark, then too man would have found some other reason to kill.
Inspite of blaming light i think it’s the human's nature that’s at fault. The light is a symbol of freeing of one’s mind and bringing clear conscience, but see what man has made of light. He has made a mockery of its sole purpose by defying its nature. I guess what’s needed is freeing of one’s mind and cleansing of human’s heart. But this might take an eternity to happen. Till then, for me darkness is blissful. For now I choose darkness over light so that I can remain in darkness and ignorance, the greater I know the world the more sorrowful my heart becomes.
