Way – Darkness or Light

Posted by kairospix (Singapore, Singapore) on 11 May 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

First, I have to say thank you to all who came by to visit my photoblog, giving your comments and sharing your thoughts! It has been most enriching reading what you all wrote!

Second, I have to admit that I’ve been finding it not easy to find enough time to reply to all your comments and thoughts within a day or two. I would try to my best to eventually get to answering all. Do come back every now and then to check when you have the time. However, if for some reason, I do not get to reply to your comments, feedback or sharing please rest assured that they are valued, welcomed and appreciated.

Anyway, today’s post is another arrow shot. But this time it has two arrow heads. One is continuously pointing within the lit area while the other is pointing towards ever decreasing light and into darkness.

At such a fork, which way would one take? Continue in the lit path? Or take the other and enter into darkness. The choice is ours to make and we face such forks all the time. They are more common than what we might think. They are prevalently everywhere, all the time!

Take for example the simple common daily task of having meals. You just finished your lunch and you see your colleague having dessert. You know you should keep to your diet regime but then another voice says to you, “Aw, it can’t be that bad to just have some dessert today. After all you’ve not had any for a long time. A little ice-cream won’t hurt.” One scoop. Two scoops. Then some more… darn there goes the diet plan.

But losing a diet is not as bad and as destructive when compared to say harboring bitterness instead of letting go and forgive. The more we hang on to the bitterness, the deeper we enter the dark side. And I’ve read somewhere before that if we choose not to forgive and let go, this bitterness will eventually find its way from us to our next generation and beyond! That’s how dark things can get if we are not careful to choose to stay on the lit path. And the scary part is that it’s always extremely easy to take that left turn and enter the dark path. Almost second nature. But we must choose not to be engulfed by it.

So which way would you chose?
