A new member has emerged from the darkness!

Welcome to ATS.

Ah great to see a fellow darkened soul...

Welcome and may we meet in discussion one day...

Nice intro.

Got my attention. Do you really follow "the path of darkness", or does it just sound more interesting?

Anyway, welcome. Looking forward to finding an answer sooner or later.

What is according you the difference between 'darkness' and 'evil' ?

Colors don't excist. Colors are imaginations created by light.

In life on earth we can never experience real darkness, because it don't excist in this world.

No light, no life. That is a law.
In this universe there is plenty real darkness. This world is about light. We cannot be light. We humans have to receive light and shine towards other people and living creatures.

Interesting post. Strictly speaking black and white are not colors, I believe they simply absorb or reflect "light". At least for me "darkness" is a kind of world-aware romance; not nihilistic, but also not sentimental. The social ideal is that we should be the species of "light". But is this realistic? Isn't this self-deception that allows hunger, factory-farms and genocide (true darkness) - because most people couldn't be too bothered? And yet they think they are "light" and good, as they applaud the very potential destruction of others and future generations. Sure, some do care, to varying degrees. Maybe this is too deep, and "night" or "darkness" is simply a metaphor for what is hidden, secret and truly mysterious. By the way, creatures in caves, or the ocean floors, or even the human gut are adapted to life in the dark. Lucky them, they've done better for themselves where we cannot reach them.


Dead things become real dark. But death is not life.
