It was frightening, this new clarity of vision: but I felt free at last to know darkness as the other side of light, and that both were needed for sight.And with that thought__t was almost as though I felt it in truth__he shackles of my old imprisoned self fell away at last. No more did I long for a warm bed behind safe walls. My heart drank in the beauty and wonder and danger of the world, and I saw for the first time that life was not something to survive, but something__he only thing__o be savoured in all its diversity. Light and dark together, mingled in all things, giving depth and substance where either alone was a pale shadow. I felt from that moment I might begin to find all things new.

Most people aren__ happy. They sing songs like they are. Make up cute little stories. Post pics of the rare times when life wasn__ dreadful. Most people are stomaching this whole affair called life. Are these people complainers? Probably. Most are. But they__e also just blokes who__e too afraid to take a risk. So they live lives in a redundant cycle of complacent apathy. Then these people wallow around day after day in their unhappiness. The more you do that, the more you lose sight of the chances you could take to make things better.
