To go back to your original question, people are afraid of the dark and too much in love with the light but the dark is their own creation. We learn and grow from that which we call 'dark', the times of fear and all those other 'low frequency' vibrations. 'Bad things happen to good people,' yes they do but it's those 'bad things' that help us grow Spiritually. Even in very human terms, enduring or coming through the other side of the 'bad things' is character-building. Dark times can often motivate people towards understanding their circumstances and they can also be the place where we 'learn the lessons', etc. It is where the seeds of creation are planted or where we stand when all of our old beliefs have been stripped away to make room for new understandings.
