Light symbolizes purity
Dark synonymous with evil often
Without the dark, light has no meaning
Without the contrast, there is no relief
In this world which has both sides, good and bad
We have the right to choose our own path
We can embrace the path of enlightenment
Or can stray towards the attractions of the dark
Mostly we are neither angels nor devil incarnate
But somewhere in the middle, both good and bad
Our choices determine our future
Heaven or hell, both possibilities

When we think we are all one or all the other, it gets us into trouble. Feeling above others – too good, etc. we can become arrogant and complacent; conversely when we feel we are bad and less than others we can become depressed and despondent – either is problematic. I like this, Sadje, we really are both light and shadow. When we accept our shadow side we become more compassionate.

Very true Carol. There are no angels walking the earth. We are all flawed, some more some less. Being human entails that we do have some good and bad in us. Thanks 🙏🏼

One of my mother’s favorite quotes
There is so much bad in the best of us and so much good in the worst of us, that it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us.

What a profound poem, Sadje. It’s so true, both polar extremes are within us all, what matters most is what we do with what we’ve been gifted. Love this one, my friend.
