Excellent, carry on then.
Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet
Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.
With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me

What? So now suddenly no one wants to tell me what the dark is?

What? So you can respond with some more immature, nonsense?
I wont tell you what Dark is, as you obviously have no real goal in discussing anything or exploring anything in any real sense, but I can certainly tell you its not acting like and petulant child.

Mortose seemed to think I was exploring. How can you be sure that I'm not?
If after all the dark is just an inverse perspective could I not be exploring it with inverted behaviour?

The truth is, no one can explain what the dark is because it's a matter of perception. Everyone will tell you something different because it is different for everyone, just as the light is different for everyone. And each of those people will say, no you are wrong. The dark is "this" or it's "that"
And you know what?
They're all wrong.
And...
They're all right.
So I say, it doesn't really matter.
So anyway... You know I learned a hard lesson not long back. You can't help or change anyone who doesn't want to be helped or want to change. Someone can even say they want your help, but actions speak louder than words. A person who truly wants help will do the work. If they're not willing to do the work and think you're there to wave a magic wand for them and make everything better, then wash your hands of them. They're not worth your time and energy.
Don't give up on the ones who are willing to do the work though.
Yeah, there's bad in the world, but there is more good. It's just not as loud and obnoxious as the bad.

If I believed that I were a powerless product of my environment (which I did at some point) . . I too would see the world as a horrible place and living things as having no more value than destruction by my acts and hatred . . . .
Everyone has the capacity and power to kill and destroy . . it is an aspect of the nature of being human. . . it is not bad. I really don't believe there is any more exploration of the dark than to accept that within one's self. Oh . .then there is self hatred. . . .
The terror to look within with full responsibility at self hatred can produce a jack popping out of the box effect . . kill THEM . . this way in here . . i fear to look . . i dare not look! . . . . illusion of safety, power and control.
I understand the pulling off the mask of the false face of innocence. It is not easy.
Being genuine and authentic is possible without hurting myself or anything else.
