Many people believe they know true darkness, but until it has been experienced it cannot be imagined. Without even a flicker of light, the mind begins to play tricks. There is a constant feeling that there is a wall before you, that you must stop. The eyes open as wide as they can, hungry for light. The only thing that helps is to shut them tight.Joseph R. Lallo
About This Quote
Darkness is something most of us fear. But, if we are not afraid, how can we know what true darkness is? We must face darkness when it comes to ourselves or it will always be there in our mind. Our heart rate increases and our body is tense. It takes our mind to deal with the fear of darkness.
When you are facing real darkness, you must shut your eyes tight and try to think of the light. That is the only way to make it through.
