I am in a particularly dark time in my life right now, and any light I see is most welcome. Light is refreshing to the soul and spirit. Light always overpowers darkness. Darkness is impotent over the light.
When it is dark, we can always choose to find illumination by merely throwing a switch, or set of switches. It is just a matter of knowing where the switch is at. Again, in the beginning was the Word. Therefore we have the Word of Light to refer to, and it is said that God is light. Light is good and pleasing to the soul. It is all healing to the body, soul, mind and spirit.
I have found that when I am lonely, or depressed, or sad, it only worsens things to have the lights dim. It very much refreshes and rejuvenates me to turn the lights on. Light is conducive to life. Could there be such a thing coming as 'light therapy?'
However, there needs to be balance, if Yin and Yang are observed, which are perfectly balanced.
We have, basically, 12 hours of day, and twelve hours of night, making no adjustment for the changing of the seasons. Since Yin and Yang are perfectly balanced, there is such a thing as perfect balance. If we could construct a perfect lamp, it would burn brightly only half of the time, using Yin and yang as the model. The other half of the time, it would be used not at all. Even God, who is light, rested from all of His Labours on the seventh day, and then He began His observation of beauteous humanity, who unfortunately fell at the beginning, but who is, blessed enough, not a failure, except marginally. Humanity is usually successful, praise God. It is only in rare and extreme cases that someone fails.
