Both dark and light exist in us all.
You can't deny one or the other.
We run from the dark because we fear the pain.
Are you brave enough to wade through the abyssal depths of your soul?
As you immerse yourself in the fire, will you emit a soundless scream?
Without pain, you will never see the light or ever be set free.
That is duality.
