The empire of darkness

There are two kind of darkness.
One is that we all know the one we call Night.
Most of us will just spend this time inside our houses.
Some will say is safer to be in, some will imagine ghosts are running around, some even will keep
the light open.
Watching some night pictures from satellite many will admire regions that are illuminated .

The second kind of darkness is the one inside us.
Some will light this kind of darkness with opening their mind.
Studying and exchanging knowledge with others

But some will be stubborn to let light comes in
Insisting to disgrace any kind of light
They will let the past times to pull them back.
They will keep alive the prejudices,sectarian ideas, under the arguments of ancient wisdom
religion or tradition, insisting there is no truth outside their conviction.
Less hope they have for a decent life in this world more likely they will postpone this hope for another life.If they are active member of a religion or cult,
They will receive constant input from their leaders.

Some do not need a group
They just let their mind to create a world that all look suddenly black
The good things, persons and places they knew before will become black in their mind.
And they will insist others to join them in their impression of darkness.
And if others will refuse to follow them, they will find out that in a self created darkness
they have a one person hell around them.

Some if they are in leading position they will take their family or country down on a path of
collective darkness.
The power of darkness is so strong.
Sometimes it is near to impossible to get out of it.
And the cost is a misery imposed on others
And it take years to heal, it may also make a lot of innocent victims
Let us just look around us
We may see persons, countries in our world that once they sink in darkness, it is very hard if not impossible for them to get back to the light.
when and if darkness ends, it takes long time before the light can create a life next to normal.
