And there was a light
which pierced the eternal being of darkness,
thrusted through nothingness and traveled
until it collided with a solid, spheroidal object
which, as its source, was hanging in a lonely space.
When the earth, as if it was on a skewer, turns its colder side to the spiritual mother
we can't help but wait for tomorrow
because darkness deeply frightens us.
It prevents us from visually perceiving the world
thus it evokes the strong sense of feebleness within us.
We plant this fear in children from early childhood because from traditional viewpoint
darkness is associated with evil and light with good.
Ideal form of darkness is nothing more than mere ignorance
and so is the light, when they're separated.
Without darkness, having eyes would be meaningless just because
we wouldn't be able to see anything, wouldn't be able to perceive space without shadows,
neither would ever see any of the stars
just like we'd never see the Milky Way in sunny days or in an over-illuminated city downtown.
Maybe life in some ways resembles the unity of light and darkness.
Constant happiness would be worthless without hardships;
Beauty would not be appreciated without existence of incompleteness;
Dynamic and diverse lives
that we are living now
would be substituted with static, one-dimensional lives,
just like one of a robot's.
After all, aren't heaven and hell inseparable too?
They portray the same extremities as light and darkness.
To feel and appreciate pleasure,
you must know what's suffering and vice versa
because any kind of extremity without contrast causes ignorance.
Our minds are nothing more than blends
of different dosages of heavens and hells we have perceived so far.
And there was darkness, and it merged into light.
Only then the universe
reached its perfect shape.
This is not the end, everything starts now
