Dark Fascination.

I meant to post this the other day, but i forgot about it until after i saw the music video 'lights out' by Rick Astley just now.

I remember on the way driving home, there was a block where all the lights had gone out.
It was completely dark...
and it fascinated me.
Everything was dark and it felt comforting in a way.
It was almost as if time froze.
The feeling you have when you look up in the sky and think about just how tiny and insignificant you really are, yet you know that you are still alive.

I wish that man kind had never discovered how to generate electricity.
First of all, that would be more eco-friendly, second of all, it's more...serene.
I love the darkness.
There's just something about it that pulls me in and comforts me when nothing and no one else can.
In the darkness, i can pretend that the troubles of the day have disappeared along with the light.
And after all my thoughts disappear into the dark, the sunrise seems more beautiful than ever.
To see that ray of light peak over the horizon, bathing the land in it's presence...
It is the embodiment of the word 'hope'.
If i could have any wish in the world... i would wish for me to be the person in my dreams. A person with the ability to change anything.
I would turn the lights out. I would destroy our technology.

I would reduce man kind back to the dark ages.

People need to learn to appreciate the small things in life.
When the light of the sun flickers out, so should the bustle of city life.

It's hard to describe exactly what it is i feel.
There really are no words for it, because it's just this sense of...peace within me.

Sure, getting rid of electricity would be incredibly inconvenient for us... but we've relied on it for too long now.
We've long forgotten how to do the most basic of things.
When was the last time you actually sat down to read a book instead of going online?
When was the last time that you did your own research instead of going to Wikipedia or Google?
We don't remember what it is to be human.
Technology is destroying what good is left in humans.
This is what i believe.

The only light we need in the dark is the light of the moon.
An ethereal glow that casts a silvery light upon the earth.
There was a reason that God created it that way.
everything is now electronic.
We no long write down things by hand to record them.
Our records are digital.

What happens if one day, all the computers in this world crash? and we have no backup?
That's hundreds of years gone right there.
Books however, last forever. Ink forever on a page.

I love the darkness.
Sometimes i just wish i could lose myself in it.
The darkness shadows everything that we do.
It follows us everywhere.
The one unchangeable thing in a constantly moving world.
That provides solace for me.

We're too caught up in our lives nowadays.
We don't stop to appreciate the small things in life.
Like the beauty of nature, or just the fact that we're alive

It's saddening that no one quite understands this.

Am i the only one who loves the darkness and the peace that it brings?

and i mean true darkness. Not the darkness in your room, but the darkness where there are no lights on - inside OR outside - and there's only the light from the moon.

One day
I will leave.

Leave behind the light
and reach out to the darkness.
