Your understanding of the light is distorted and flawed. This is not
surprising since you have rejected the light and can no longer tolerate
to even exist in it.
Light does not exist as a contrast to darkness. Light is not contingent
on darkness to exist. And Light is certainly more than nothing without
it.
Darkness on the otherhand is contingent on there being light. Darkness
is not a thing, it is a privation. There is no substance of darkness.
What we understand as darkness is nothing more than a lack of light.
Light exists, where there is no light you have darkness.
Darkness as you can see is merely a lack of something. It is not
something to be embraced, because it is not something at all. Those who
claim to embrace darkness, do not actually do this, they merely reject
light. In doing so they are no longer able to stand in the light without
pain.
You'll observe there is no such problem for those of us who serve the
light. How could there be, there is no thing that is called darkness
that could harm us. We seek to fight the darkness, we say this because
it is easy for the masses to understand this. What we are truling doing
is advancing the light. We are bringing the light to areas that have
been deprived of its radience.
The victory of Light is inevitable. We are bringing a truely good thing
to those which lack it.
