Sir Francis Bacon once said, "In order for the light to shine so brightly,
the darkness must be present."
My light has been dulled. What once had shone so brightly has now been extinguished, diminished into darkness. That little voice in the back of my head reminds me of all that I fear most; I fear the darkness. Even when my light has been ignited once more, the darkness creeps back in. The darkness will always be there, ready for my light to dim, just as my fear will never cease. If only my light could just sparkle, shimmer, and glitter like the sun, perhaps then the my light could overcome.
I watch Criminal Minds, Law and Order: SVU, CSI: Miami, and all of these other brutal shows that depict rape, murder, incest, yet I am still interested to watch. Why is this?
Criminal Minds, though graphic and sometimes disturbing, never ceases to inspire me. Though the show is full of darkness, 90% of the time it proves that there are bits of "light" in the world worth living for.
