The fear of the dark is a common fear among children and to a varying degree is observed for adults. I believe almost everybody has experienced the feel of fear in a dark place. The fuel for the fear of dark is human’s imagination. Everything in dark appears to be something else. People make things as scary as their imagination allows them in dark and this is just because of the lack of the vision. An interesting point of this kind of fear: Do you think if you have a full vision in a bright day and see a dragon you imagined last night in the dark, you would be as scared as last night? I don’t think so. This makes me think that limited or lack of vision is scary in nature.
However, let’s look at the other side of this coin. Sometimes, despite of the fear of dark, you prefer to stay in the dark because the truth is scarier than what you can imagine. You try to picture things that are not facts not to face the reality.
Unfortunately, this is what is going on in our world right now. We do not want to look, listen, and learn the facts. Why? because we do not want to accept the responsibility of knowing the truth. Because it is so easy to say "I did not know"!
Some try to get out of the dark and others, who I am jealous of, turn the light on for others as well. Now it is your turn!

There is also another issue involving the definition of darkness and light. Some people are in an absolute darkness and they are not aware of that and even worse they think they are in a non-arguable light!

I hope, at least I can distinguish whether I am in the darkness or not. Then, I will decide to stay in or get some way out ;)
