I know a lot of people get annoyed with "silly words over fancy pictures" posted on the internet… but I think affirmations are part of what got me here today… Simple beliefs that you can focus on, in a positive, constructive way… Or ideas that give you perspective into things you might be feeling….
….and today I feel that darkness is required for you to see stars… and that is mighty ok. 🙂
I see you Blainy
🙂
but they can
Sun shines, and Sun is the star …
when they are far, far, far away – we need darkness to see them shine
(and that is a good metaphore as well)
Very inspiring.
Not sure I've seen it phrased that way, but it does go along with the idea that you can't appreciate good without knowing some bad, or happiness without experiencing some sadness.
I actually really like this one. We dont think about it. Darkness must exist in order for light to be able to shine. It is a basic affirmation for how the universe (and in part, our lives) work.
Yup!
nice……………
I like it
Yin and yang.
Now I may have to write a science post about this.
nicely done! this one doesn't bother me so much 😉
Realty nice light can't exist without dark they are like ying and yang
The darkness is only needed so you may see the star light with the human eye. I do not desire darkness for Satan holds its hand.
soo true
=-O lol
true :))
Sure they can. It's just harder to see them 🙂 But I assume this isn't a scientific way to look at it, but more about dualism: there can't be light without darkness.
And you will never be able to see the stars unless you are willing to look up.
Very nice picture and sentiment but the scientist in me is saying "sure they can!" They wouldn't stand out though, so shine is still true.
"There is no light without dark, no happiness without grief, no improvement without error, and no true love without heartbreak. Take every bump in the road as a signal for something greater to come."
It takes an absence of something to appreciate the presence of something else…
yes you are right……..
A few posts down, I found this new comic by The Oatmeal. It's also about dualism, in a sense. theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_shrimp
i am agree
An eternal truth lies therein, for "it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so…righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad."
This reminds me of this song
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band – "Stand A Little Rain"
Basically, the chorus, "If we're every gonna see a rainbow, we have to stand a little rain."
🙂 This is so true in life!
So the darkness is not always dark.
In the darkness there is light.
not really, look at the Real property of it, then you know that Yes, stars can sign in dark, because it is always shining, glittering, in dark we can see it and appreciate it, so it is a matter of twisting the Truth, stars do not need darkness.
hummmm
Simply refers to "balance." ..order requires chaos to exist — same reason people get a hard on over "The Dark Knight" film…lol. Humans enjoy the struggle.
All terms are defined in scope by that which it balances against; words and concepts are all like the koans of Zen Buddhism — in the end, useless utterances that are cyclical and have no meaning without effort or emotion. Balance is the key to providing them purpose…
I dig when goes all deep with a post. 😉

Good morning im from Brasil…kissss
Hum, science says otherwise.
Well, I'd like to have some more darkness to take nice pictures of the stars and objects in our wonderful sky.
Good stuff… As Richard Rohr says, "Psychological wholeness and spiritual holiness never exclude the problem from the solution. If it is wholeness, then it is always paradoxical, and holds both the DARK and the LIGHT sides of things."
