What Do You Think Of Darkness?

Black isn't my favorite color but I have a thing for it. Why is that? Because black or anything dark paints a perfect or better image or picture of something.
I am easily identified with dark or black things. Don't even think of getting all spiritual and religious with whatever looks you might wanna display; I am a child of the light.

But in the natural sense, I tend to love a dark and black thing very much, ranging from a dark room, a dark background, a dark mode browser, app, note pad, a black dress, shoes, and the least thing like a black porch.

There were different instances my liking for these things played out very well unconsciously.
I remember walking into a studio last year for a photo session and when I was asked which background I wanted for my photos, I immediately mentioned Black without blinking.
Coming back the next day to get my photos, I realized the photographer changed most of my background to pink, yellow, white. Like what the heck? Such weird combinations. I wasn't angry, that was far from it, all I did was tell them to change all the funny background colors to something a little bit dark if not black entirely.
Of course, I got what I wanted, I like it dark and soft, there is a great feeling that comes with it.
One of the photographers was forced to exclaimed how much I like black when he was exchanging words with his colleague, he asked why I love black, dark, or dim things that much. I told him I don't know because that's the truth, I have no idea why.

Coming to dark mode? Everything you could think of in my phone and PC is in the dark mode. My browsers, applications, and the rest.
I immediately changed my PeakD preface to the dark theme when I first logged in with it.
I used to have problems with my immediate brother when he usually borrows my PC to make use of.
Each time he gets his hands on it, he changes the theme to light because he couldn't work with the dark mode.

Giving these instances shows how much I like black, dark, or dim things, and even atmosphere. Wait, did I mention that I like how the sky suddenly becomes dark in the middle of the day or early morning because it's about to rain? I can't explain how I feel going through those moments or periods, it's always a delightful sight to behold.
I bet you wanna see some clicks of such weather I took some months ago? There you can see them below and tell me what you think lol.

Isn't that sight lovely to behold? I bet it is.
And I don't need anyone to tell me that lol.
Just looking at that dark sky feels so warm and endearing.

What Do You Think Of Darkness?

Should I rephrase that question? What comes into your mind when darkness is being mentioned?

Here permit me to quote scriptures;

KJV: And the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
KJV: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (Genesis 1:2-3)

The earth was already filled with darkness.
And without this, there wouldn't have been a reason to call forth light.
Darkness gives light its meaning.
You can only tell the beauty of light in the presence of darkness.

What about the moon and the stars? The beauty of those is seen only in the presence of darkness.
Even the beautiful lighting of a Christmas tree and its decorations are seen mostly when it is dark.

So if I was to answer the question, what I think of darkness or what comes to my mind each time the word darkness is mentioned is that it is what gives light its true form or meaning.
Without darkness, we might never appreciate the usefulness or beauty of light.

Can you tell me the usefulness of an electric bulb during the day? Well, it is as good as nothing because it's not even serving a purpose.
Its purpose can only be served in the presence of darkness.
And for those who keep their power or lighting on during the day, you had better save some energy because there is no function of those lighting during the day.

Give it a break! Don't always think evil, each time you hear the word darkness. Though the devil is associated with darkness but it is not always all about the devil and his handiworks.
It's not always all about demons and ghosts.
Darkness has its own use as much as light does.

A little bit of dark or black things wouldn't harm okay?
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
You can only be tied down by what you believe.
After all, we are but slaves to what we believe.
So when next you come across someone that loves the black color for what it really is, don't give them those evil looks.
It may never be what you think but just an harmless liking for something dim and plain.

Did you miss anything in the article? Maybe something you wanna share or emphasize on? I am very open to it and pretty much available too. Let's talk it out in the comment section, see you around, and thank you for stopping by.
