Do you think darkness is 'evil'?

[Deleted]

I just read a post on a site and it says "If you look for light,you'll find it. If you look to find the dark that is all you'll ever see." He states that darkness is 'evil' but I'm against saying that darkness itself isn't evil it's how you use it or that not all entities of darkness are evil. There are definitely plenty of entities of light that are 'evil' anyway discuss please.

Darkness is viewed as evil because it obscures our vision, preventing us to see what's in it. "We no not what dwells in the darkness, so we fear it". In reality, it along with everything else is used as a tool. We do our dirt in the dark so that none will know what happened, We attack our enemy's in the dark because we have a better chance of surprising them. But he does have a point."If you look for light,you'll find it. If you look to find the dark that is all you'll ever see." This is true. But the path of darkness is the more truthful. That path brings you close to the real parts of humanity, The ugly, primal side. The important thing is to know what lies in the dark. So you'll have a better perspective of what's in the light.

Darkness is not inherently evil, it's when we let the darkness in us, and what we fear of what we consider the darkness control our actions that it can be called evil. Darkness and Light are merely whatever an individual decides to address to them, darkness can be evil or it can be good, it can hide dangers or it can protect you with that same nature. Light can offer illumination, or it can offer pain and injury. This is my personal thing here now but, the only inherent good is God and the only inherent evil Satan, and even then that evil is a necessity in order for good to mean anything. In the end it's your choices that make anything good or evil, if you murder someone for shits and giggles it's evil, but by that same token if you kill someone because you have no other option or they will kill you it's not. Murder is a dark deed either way, but it's why you choose to do it that matters, it's why you give in to that darkness and what you feel afterwards that decides if you were being evil, or if you merely did what was necessary

Nah it's cool

Light hurts my eyes, darkness makes it so less people are out so I don't get bothered as much. But then tv light is cool and darkness makes me bump into things occasionally.

There's nothing worse than bashing your shin or stubbing your toe in the darkness.

And for that reason, I'm out.

Fortunately it's usually my head.

Well sadly I've had people equate darkness as always being 'bad' but hey I personally treat it like any other tool in any situation. Use it correctly and know how to us it then you should have no problems..But if you play around too much with the darkness like a toy then like power tools or a pair of scissors "It's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt."...Not sure if good analogy :/

Dark isn't all evil, just like light isn't all good

i just named two tropes. Derp
