The Eternal Battle Within Between Darkness and Light

Within each and every human two sides that are in constant battle against themselves -- darkness and light. When we are born, we are born pure with light, but as time marches forward, the light gets stained with the darkness of the world.
It is the choice of every human what to do with the darkness. To be in a constant battle of defeating it, or joining it completely.
He who fights against the darkness lurking within needs to be strong enough to defeat it every day. Doing so successfully will help one be on a path of redemption from it, and even get love. For love is there only for those who embrace the light and fight back against the darkness.
Those weak enough or those unwilling enough to fight the darkness, will join it. They will see the non-rectified world, with all of its injustices, and submit to a reality which they are unwilling to change through their light.
The origin of light comes from love and strength. The origin of dark comes from exposing oneself to the injustices of this world, and accepting them in utter defeatism.
The world is a mixture of light and dark, and it is our choice to whether follow the path of light or the path of dark. Some people are more inclined to be dark than others, and have to do extra work to restore themselves back into the light, if so, is their wish.
The human psyche is a constant battle arena of light and dark. Inner peace can be attained in accepting this reality peacefully, without resistance, without protest.
This is a very dark, unfair world. The more you are exposed to the darkness of this world, the more awareness you gain of it, the more strength you will require, in restoring yourself back into the light of love, peace, justice and harmony.
As part of my quest for strength, I purposefully expose myself to the injustices of this world, through documentaries about the poor and the struggling. Watching their struggles tempt me to stop rectifying this world through my writings, because helping all the poor and the suffering in the world is beyond my control.
I purposefully confront the darkness, so I could emerge stronger, after defeating it. I am not afraid of the dark truths of this world. In my unrelenting advance, I seek to always be strong so the darkness within me won't win against the light.
I am one of the people who are more inclined to be dark than light. I do not like the darkness within me. I don't accept it. I seek to dispel it every day in my life, so I could have the strength within me to do my fair share of rectifying the world in the name of good.
I was exposed to people who sought to end their own lives, and I gave them my strength, so they would believe in themselves, to fight another day. Yet, helping them makes me think, that it is no wonder that they sought to end their own lives in the first place. After all, this world is unfair and dark, where wealth determines wellbeing and quality of life more than anything. Some people have it better off than others simply because they were born luckier. This injustice is frustrating, but eventually is the way this world is -- luck based, wealth based, and were human empathy and help is a rarity in comparison.
I observe the poor and the suffering on these documentaries, so I could be disillusioned with the world, and accept the world for what it is. As much as it makes me dark, I do what I can to restore myself back into the light.
I don't like what I'm seeing there, and yet I see it because I seek knowledge and strength. I seek the truth. To bear the truth, without succumbing to it, requires much strength, and that is the strength which I seek to develop for as long as I can.
I choose to contribute for free because I seek to have a heart full of light, made to combat this world's darkness. I choose to help that way because I do not like the darkness within me. It is an unwelcome demon, that seeks to bring my satisfaction down, because the world will never be fully rectified. Because people are always going to suffer.
And I pity this world for suffering, and I want to do the best I can to help. The more I help, the more I am set free from the darkness within me, threatening to consume me.
It is an ongoing battle that might as well end with my death, but that's how the reality of my psyche is. And, I believe that to be the case with the rest of humanity.
It is only a matter of exposure. Those who lived a life of fortune, or those who build themselves on denial, will be too weak to be exposed to the darkness of the world. Those who lived a challenging life, like me, are in a constant battle against the darkness in which they were exposed to. There is no justice in this, as there is no justice in society, that is the reason why I stay away from society in the first place.
I seek, with my unrelenting strength, to bring justice and light to this world however I can, and to defeat the darkness, not join it.
I guess I will always be tempted to be dark, the more I willingly expose myself to the corruption of this world. Yes, there are good things about this world, too, but I seek to rectify this world from the darkness, and as such, I must know darkness if I want to do my share to defeat it.
And I will do whatever I can, to defeat the darkness, and emerge victorious.
I have much work ahead of me. I refuse to give up!
