Today’s Good Word ~ Light & Dark

All of us have a light and dark side. We enjoy seeing only our light side. The light side displays our compassion, kindness, honesty, and love. We shy away from acknowledging our dark side. It’s difficult to admit to the self that we are capable of being selfish, mean, angry, and greedy. When we view our dark side we realize how much we are like everyone we’ve criticized. It is both humbling and liberating. It makes me more accepting of others with the hope they will be more accepting of me. In many ways, once we acknowledge and accept our dark side, our light side becomes brighter.
