Ask a child why he fears the dark He will say ”It is because I cannot see” As adults we fear the light Because we wish not to see But not seeing the horrors that stand before us Does not make them disappear Which is the sillier thing to fear?

We Fear the Light
Ask a child why he fears the dark He will say ”It is because I cannot see” As adults we fear the light Because we wish not to see But not seeing the horrors that stand before us Does not make them disappear Which is the sillier thing to fear?
