Word Connotations in Dark and Light a response to "Divine Darkness"

I think the word connotations within dark and light leave little to wonder why people embrace words like "light and love" to project how they wish the world to be. And the words are pretty top-heavy, not that balance ever figures into ideals.

As a topic, I think you could go farther with descriptions on the need for consistent jolts of destructive/transforming energies for the global movement. And these sometimes need happen beyond human control, though war cannot be overlooked. One might also call to mind horrible plagues, raging volcanoes, devastating floods or earthquakes as times when societies have been transformed by natural events. These events were all surrounded by people swimming in seas of uncertainty and in the "dark" the world suddenly changed. In this change people either have to make a lateral move, be diminished or improve.

I think it is the overwhelming uncertainty of what to do now that we can all see each other so much more clearly, all these different ideas and societies growing this mass connection on the Internet, that has caused many people to begin realizing what having this many pieces of the sociological puzzle might mean.

Though I personally imagined several scenarios surrounding this, I'll leave the results to your own line of reasoning. And your own line of reasoning is key, for mine sees that we are in dark days and facing change on a rate our ancestors could never have foreseen. They faced the Black Death and Dark Ages. Today we face the unknown of what happens when you begin to know enough to make a decision, which also means you know all of the different directions this thing could spin off into. It's nice to imagine sometimes that the fiction of futuristic societies could be in our living rooms tomorrow.

And I think it is wise to embrace this brand of dark uncertainty with arms of intention, which we have hardly begun to see in any real way not utterly obliterated by the inefficient management of worldwide resources.

Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous. ~ Plato

Good, bad, right, wrong, light, dark -- The definitions of what we will accept is now only on the shoulders of what we want. It faces the question of what will we want when we don't want all this "stuff" anymore and the truth behind labor and economies fail in the oligarchy occurring in the banking systems. It faces what we will teach children about the past and about how they should regard world conditions in mass flux.

The hardest part in this is that more and more cultures are beginning to empathize with each other and at the same time growing harder and harder to convince that this is a good thing. And it seems to be stalled out, which is dimensionally impossible because empathy is still growing.

Yes, embrace the dark. Embrace it in the sense that Kali is to be worshiped and revered in so much as feared. Embrace it like the perfection of talent once one has met the Devil at the crossroads. We are at the crossroads.

The gift of change is in understanding.

If the age we are leaving be known as one controlled by mass fearfulness and uncertainty, of human atrocity and destruction. Then let the next be known for the awakening and corresponding light of knowledge, reason, en"light"enment and empathy, which is sensitive and impressionable.

The technologically enhanced version of a new mass human spiritual renaissance with more balance thrown in is all I could hope to see, but gaining it will require care, respect and empathy -- like reaching out to a suspicious animal we hope to befriend while going through an earthquake.
