Light.... what is it? Is light as holy as we proclaim it to be? All I see light as is an illusion... a barrier, it's not necessarily evil, nor can it do any good. It blinds us from the darkness... the truth that lingers within the shadows. The darkness is abused, exploited... this is why the light tries to blind us with it's blinding rays. So WE, as humans don't exploit the truth for our own selfish greed. This is why laws were created. This is why law enforcers were formed. This is why law enforcement are scrutinized. This is why... many criminals do what they do. They seek the truth, but seeking the truth can also corrupt you. So you choose, light or darkness? But regardless of your choice, you will always be "you".

The Truth Between the Light and Darkness
