Hi, mylotters, how are you? Do you believe the darkness or brightness in the world?
Always, we can hear some complaints about the darkness of the world. Did you complain about that? Yes, I did. But I have not been complaining. I think we should believe the brightness in this world. So that we have enough drive to seek. There is a beautiful poem in Chinese literature going like this: The darkness gave me black eyes, however, I seek for brightness with them. How beautiful poetry!
Hi,mylotters, would you like to share your feelings and your stories here about the darkness and brightness in life?

I dont think I really understand what you saying but I know its something about the darkness and light of the world . I do believe they are both need and one cannot exist without the other . Its sad but its not possible to have one without the next and I do believe both exist .

I don't believe in either one. I have never heard of either one of these two religions or aware of their existence. When i can not see in darkness, i just switch on my lamp, then i will receive brightness, If i am getting tire of it, i just turn it off; no need to believe in any of them.

There are lot of possible interpretations when we say darkness or brightness. It could be darkness of life, darkness of a room or cave, darkness or the hair or skin, and many more. When you said 'darkness of the world', I understood it two ways. Maybe you were pertaining about the unfavorable circumstances or happenings around, maybe tragedies, or also maybe you were talking about the darkness in some places or parts of the planet like for instance the countries in the North and South poles of the globe. So I really don't know! Haha
Some say, darkness is only the absence of light or brightness but others say the opposite. As for me, whatever it is, I do believe that there is darkness and brightness in the world!

Yes of course, this owrld of ours has both the brightness and the darkness in it. One of which is not possible to be present if the other is not around as well. As many have said so themselves... we do need the darkness in order for us to appreciate the light. we need to see some evil in order for the good to prove its dominance over it. =)

yes, we all complaint about the darkness in this world and we all are a part of the same dark world.
But then, at some point of time, we all do stop looking at the darkness and start looking at the brighter side of the world. This is the point where we realize that, it is always better to stop complaining about something that is not going to change and to change at the way we look at it. This is when we start looking at all the brighter side of the world.
Once we start looking at the brighter side, all that we would be realising is that, the world is after all not that a bad place that we have been complaining about since long. It is all about the perceptive in which we look at the things.
Just like , looking at the half filled glass with water rather than the half empty glass of water.
Good day,
happy mylotting.
