NOTE UNDER EXTREME RECONSTRUCTION Why is the dark associated with evil? Dark. Bad. Run. Hide. The human instinct of wondering the unknown can be questioned. Why is the dark so scary, the unknown so daunting, the undiscovered so evil? Why do there have to be so many lights? Why do the children around the world cry screams of horrific terrror, wanting nothing more than to see. It is because of the mosters. The monsters that lurk in the dark. On the otherside of our closet door, tailing behind us, underneath our beds, as they are always there watching us. The whispering shadows that follow you throughout your day, the haunting feeling that someone is watching you, the sensation of the fight or flight response when in danger. I am afraid of the dark. And I await for the day when I will finally know why.
