The Loss of Light

   Your inner self is composed of your light and your darkness, your angels and your demons; which are constantly at war, judging your actions and words, telling you what's wrong and what's right. Till the time you feed your angels, you live a balanced life of humility.     But, once you start feeding your demons, you start losing your sense of judgement. You starve for power, and to acquire it, whatever you must do, seems to you as legitimate. You lose your light, essaying efforts to satiate your never-ending, pig-like greed. Your angels don't die; they simply fall asleep in the darkness you've spread on your insides.

          "I wish everyone would get rich and famous;
            And do everything they ever dreamt of;
            So that they can see that it's not the answer."
                                                                              -Jim Carrey.
You crave for more and more because you are never satisfied. You believe that you'd be happy when you accumulate more wealth; but that's genuinely not the case. You were born for a reason: a path, that you were supposed to tread upon, a path that would have given you happiness and peace... but, your demons lead you astray.

   Having lost your light, you become helpless until a humble person comes to your aid. Remember, darkness can either engulf light within itself or completely dissipate due to the light. A person whose angels are awake and active, can stir up your angels to conquer your demons.

   Darkness can diminish light and vice versa; but your light and that of someone else's can only add up to light up the paths of the travellers of the dark.

   In every person, no matter how corrupt he is, a little amount of light remains; but it takes the correct frequency and wavelength to bring it back, its long lost glisten!

   Don't lose your light; it's your lone identity that sets you apart from others. In this insane world, only the mad will defeat their demons. Don't worry when someone calls you a lunatic, it's their demons who are getting blinded by your light!

             Trust your instinct;
             Trust your light...!
