Darkness lights

Darkness is dark. Its black and has no illumination. This is our perception of darkness, right? Wrong! If we look correctly we will notice that darkness has probably given us more light than even the brightest moments of our lives. Confused? 

We have all had our 'dark' and 'bright' moments in our lives. The 'dark' moments simply are those times when you have been defeated, felt despair, failure and been down and out. The 'bright' moments are those when you have excelled, attained success and been on top of the world.

We would all love to have only the bright moments always. However unless we experience darkness, how will we ever appreciate light? To know the intensity of light, we must know what is dark. For example, take money. If we have had ample money all our lives, we will take it for granted. Money loses its value. However if you ever had a phase in your life, wherein money was less, you know how it feels. You will value money more than someone who has always been blessed with financial abundance. 

You will drive more carefully if you have even been in an accident (God forbid).

Furthermore, the dark moments of our lives, teach us much more than the brightest moments. We learn much more from our failures than our successes. We learn from our mistakes. It is the best teacher in the world, though a very costly one. We learn to ride a bike by falling down. Once we have mastered why we keep falling, we quickly adjust and do not fall again.

Same with life. With each defeat and failure, we grow wiser, stronger and more efficient. It is Gods way of testing you and making you stronger. With each blow you receive, you will bounce back with even more ferocity. With each failure you conquer, you will grow as a person. Failure and defeat lights our way to success and growth.

Darkness brings Light!
