Light and Darkness = We All Have A Little Bit of Both

As humans, we will always be fighting inside against our wicked nature.Trust me when I say that if we were all light or all darkness, we would no longer be here on this Earth! It does not matter how good your deeds may be or how fallen your nature is. Our creative power is so strong that out of our good and bad experiences, we can create amazing things.  Regardless of the form of artistic expression one might be using, there will always be light and darkness involved. It is crucial - the essence and the balance of everything today. How would we know good if there was no evil?

I often stop and think about how the best expressions of art came about. So many artists have crafted their most beautiful work in the midst of suffering and trials. Others have created something so powerful in the midst of so much joy and love. Both of these forces may cause us to create beauty out of ashes. There is creative power in both forces, but they must all be balanced.

It is up to us as people to decide which one of these will be stronger in us. We have been given free will - something no one may touch or take away. Whatever our choice may be, we have to remember that we are the ones that choose. One might blame someone for their choice, but the real blame is inside every single one of us.
