Blinded by Darkness

Tue, 05/21/2013 - 16:39 -- Kitsari

In the light we see darkness
In the darkness we see light
But what light?

A light bulb is not the sun,
but one who has not seen the sun
knows no difference between the two.
And what is light but the absence of dark?

Is the light in the darkness really a true light
or simply lighter than the dark that surrounds it?
Beware the false light,
For in it you can never find the true light.

All you can see now is the darkness surrounding you.
