Ignorning darkness is a denial of an aspect of self.
Are you not all things?
Silly? Can you not discuss this without resorting to open insult?
Also, you say this, yet use a strawman argument to obscure what I really wrote. "Promptly have a panic attack?" Sure, that's silly, but it's not what I said. Just as I never said anything about "overcoming" the darkness either. That's two posts in a row you've misquoted me and then used that misquote as a basis of judgement.
And if "ignoring" was overstating the situation somewhat, it was only because I decided to try to write a shorter post without going into a lengthy discussion about the fine distinctions between various forms of disregard. The underlying truth remains that those who focus on the darkness are ultimately empowering the darkness, and those who focus on the light are ultimately empowering the light. Very few, if any, are capable of being so neutral as to feed both simultaneously and equally. They're almost inevitably going to favor one side or the other, both in the world and in themselves.
If someone chooses to focus on the darkness, that's certainly their right as free entities. But I still think it's helpful if they're aware that's what they're doing, and choosing deliberately rather than unknowingly.
