Darkness is defined as absence or deficiency of light, wickedness or evil and the lack of knowledge or enlightenment, but in a literal sense it is a concept of desperation animated by confusion. It is therefore subject to perspective, giving it 6.89 billion different faces. Darkness looks different to everyone; one man's path to survival may mean the death of another. And that, at the core of it all is darkness. A perceived evil in the way a man executes his rise to power. We may blame the individual but then we'd be no better. Evil comes from darkness because it personifies confusion and desperation. The more extreme the means of an individuals attempt of equalizing ones self, or otherwise known as preformed acts of evil, the more it shows how desperate that individual has become. Edmund Burke once said, "All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing". The same is true of darkness, it can be illuminated by the simplest of enlightenments; the fact that a helping hand is available. It is when a person loses his path and then neglect and hatred are enacted that evil is spawned and darkness engulfs another innocent soul, and unfortunately those emotions are the few that our world faces no shortages of.
