Ponderable

With the Twilight series being finished, I had to find something new and exciting to read. I found the House of Night Series. Yes, it’s about vampires. No it looks nothing at all like Twilight.

One of the ideas presented in the book is this:

Darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good.

What do you think of that idea? It’s so counter-intuitive to everything I’ve ever been taught… and for that reason alone, this idea intrigues me.

And for some reason, another quote just popped into my head – “Don’t go into the light Carol Ann!”

But you know, it’s kind of rare to think of light as being bad. Light = pure, dark = impure. Why has this been drilled into us?
