When did darkness become synonymous to 'evil', or 'bad'...or anything unsavory?
My nephew is already 10 years old, but he is still afraid of the dark. Now I have no idea why (since he only came to live with us when he was six). Maybe it's that boogeymen myth that kids nurture while growing up.
Since I am always the last one to hit the sack, it's my duty to turn off the lights in his room when it's already 11. Turn it off earlier than that, and then he wakes up, gets pissed and turns it back on again. He must have an alarm system for that, because he somehow feels it when the light's off.
My earliest memory was not being able to sleep with the lights on. It has to be turned off. (I am the power company's less favored client, then. I make up for that with my endless hours-long burning with the PC and video marathons when the couch bugs bite me. Harhar!)
Why do they associate darkness with not-so-desirable stuff? Like when they say battle of good versus evil, they say, Light versus Darkness. Night versus Day. It is during the Night that creatures of darkness creep out of their burrows and scare the bejesus out of unsuspecting mortals.
Funny. When do we get the most comfort out of rest (read: sleep)? Night, right?
Yabai. I just rambled nonsensical things yet again. Some things never change, eh?
Unload: *kicks CDJapan.com* Unbe-fuggin'-lievable. I receive an info email about an item I'm watching out for, click the preorder link, only to read OUT OF PRINT. OK! SO NOT FINE!
I opened the preorder link an hour AFTER the email got to me. Are they telling me it took about an hour for EVERYTHING to be sold out? I'd hate to think I am the slow one. Either everyone else on the planet clicked the preorder button before me in those 60 minutes, or CDJapan sucks at their market projections and does not hold enough stocks. (And to think the item won't still be released October 16. Bleh.) Good thing yesasia.com is there. *sigh*
I am so gonna pull a Light Yagami act and create a new world (dis)order. First on my list: take over CDJapan. (No. I don't have a murderous streak. Yet.)
it is not fear of evil but fear of the unknown, as a kid things and shadows looked omnious in the dark, and a kids imagination is vivid ^__^
