Darkness

It's impossible to go through life without encountering hardships and we are going to say that these hardships lie in the darkness. Sometimes your situation may be so dark that you are unable to see your hand in front of your face. And your ultimate goal in the darkness is to reach light, right? So, as you move towards your goal you bump into things in the darkness, obstacles, hardships. You have to overcome these obstacles, you have to persevere for the the goal or be forever left in the darkness. To remind you, you are "blinded" by the darkness and cannot truly make out what you feel, so you overcome the obstacle as best as you can. Then, you reach the light and sigh of relief is the icing on the cake. And with this newfound light, you should look back at the darkness. Analyze, analyze, analyze. Study your obstacles inside and out. You might have handled one hardship perfectly and another not so great but, you have to pick up the skills,flashlights, to fully understand your obstacle because as life has taught us many times, nothing leaves forever and forever never exists. Now the next time when your in the dark and you feel something similar to before, use your flashlights to reveal what it is. Without the dark, light doesn't exist. We do not learn without trial and error and sometimes those once hidden obstacles in the darkness reflect the light we use to reveal the obstacle completely. Sometimes the darkness reflects the light 2, 3 ,4, 5 times stronger.
