In The Absence Of Light Darkness Prevails
Ever notice how things get…weird when the lights go out? It's like the universe is just waiting for an opportunity to mess with us. I have a totally radical, earth-shattering thought, and I hope you are ready to hear it.
Darkness: Not Just a Lack of Light
We all know darkness is the *absence of light*. Right? Groundbreaking stuff, I know. But hear me out! There is another truth that needs to be told.
It’s not just that you can’t see your shoes. I submit to you, that it is deeper than that. Darkness changes things.
Chaos Reigns Supreme
Have you ever tried to find something in a power outage? Pure comedy. You bump into furniture, stub your toes. Every creak in the house sounds like a monster under the bed.
It is as if the universe enjoys laughing at our expense. All thanks to a little lack of illumination. My toes still haven't forgiven me for that coffee table incident!
In darkness, the cat is always underfoot. Suddenly, your house is a booby trap. I am now thinking of buying a night-vision goggle.
The Imagination Runs Wild
Ever told scary stories around a campfire? Of course you have! The darkness is basically a storyteller's best friend.
Every rustle of leaves becomes a ghost. Every shadow a lurking beast. In the dark, our imaginations go full throttle.
I blame Edgar Allan Poe for perpetuating this. But honestly, it's kind of fun, right? Don't lie!
Things Get… Philosophical
Okay, maybe "philosophical" is a strong word. But in the dark, you think about stuff you normally wouldn't.
Like, why are we here? Is there life on other planets? Does my neighbor really practice the tuba at 3 AM? Things people often ponder, I suppose.
Suddenly, your deepest questions come to the fore. The absence of light really does have you thinking. Is it time to start a band? I may need to ponder on that a bit.
Food Tastes Better (Maybe?)
This is a highly controversial opinion, but I stand by it. Midnight snacks in the dark? Superior!
Maybe it’s the mystery of not quite knowing what you’re shoving in your mouth. Maybe it's because no one can judge you for eating that entire bag of chips.
Whatever the reason, it's pure bliss. Don't @ me! Blame darkness.
Darkness and Sleep?
Sleep is better in the dark, but maybe it is a cop out. You don't see it, because you are asleep, so it doesn't matter, right?
Maybe the complete absence of light is the best state to be in when you are sleeping. Is it actually the darkness, or the fact your eyes are closed and you are not focusing?
A question for the ages, that no one knows the answer to. I guess this will remain a mystery, shrouded in darkness!
The Verdict
So, next time the lights go out, don't panic. Embrace the chaos! Embrace the weirdness!
Because as my totally original saying goes: In the absence of light, darkness does its thing. I wonder if I can get that on a t-shirt?
Who knows what kind of shenanigans you'll get into. Just try not to stub your toe too badly. Thanks, darkness! I suppose!
I think Shakespeare said it best: *To be or not to be, that is the question, but in the dark, who cares!*
