“Do you have darkness inside you?" "Yes," "And do you want to be rid of it?" This is a harder question to answer than one might think at first blush. Almost no one would think it's correct to answer this question with a no, but the truth is that we men and women often hate to be rid of the familiar, and sometimes, our darkness is the thing we know the best.”
