I've always found it interesting how so many people feel darkness is something to either completely subdue or overcome. Light and dark, good and evil, they're two sides of the same coin. As relative concepts, they can't exist without each other. So if we somehow managed to eradicate "bad" from the world, we would necessarily be eliminating "good" as well.
I enjoyed reading this! An interest in understanding the darkness doesn't always mean one is evil. But it must be the fear of our tendency to lean closer to it (than toward the light) that makes it feel a bit dangerous.
