sometimes it's not a choice to be in the dark side.. sometimes the dark side is all the person has to define who he or she really is..it's who they are and it's the only person they know how to be..take that away and they are nothing...that's why they prefer to stay in the dark because they are afraid of the light destroying who they are..
VERY accurate words @grayarty!!!!! I know ALL too well of this.... so can completely relate, but I DO have to say that, at the end of it all.... EVERYTHING in life is a choice, and although a person may have not been afforded much comparison... there is generally enough exposure to the outside world to gain adequate comparison and if the comparative is appealing, then there is a choice presented... and at that point the rest is up to the individual as to whether they choose to venture that new path or not...
thanks for agreeing with me on this! yeah everyone talks about choice, but no one wakes up in the morning saying they gonna be Evilllllllll! Like Dr.Doofenshmirtz, from Phineas and Ferb..u know him? ok probably not lol.. everyone wakes up and wants to be good but unfortunately it's not easy when all the frustrations and pain that one feels is just so strong that u can't help but go back to the way u were.. because that's like your comfort zone..and yeah u can call it self pity but maybe that's all a person knows how to be also..I dunno..it's just too complicated to explain...
I definitely wouldn't call it self pity. I can completely understand precisely what you are saying and it is very true. These are battles that many people face every single day... some more so than others and it is a very REAL thing - not to be treated flippantly and fobbed off... but, I believe - being a person that has been dealt many a blow int his life and suffering from a multitude of issues, including mild depression .... BABY STEPS. Rome was not built in a day and even if we make the smallest of progressive steps forward on a daily basis... whether they feel true to us or not, it is still better than not trying at all!
Much love to you @grayarty
