Dark Side
What is in your dark side?
It is important to understand that. Your dark side. All the details, as deep as you can go. Because the depth of darkness that you can reach is the height of achievements that you can get.
Reaching your dark side means doing something that you want to do, not because you need to do.
You can reach for the bottle and have a drink. Not because your friends want you to do it. Not because you need it. But you want it.
You sleep with your partner. Not because you need it. Not because you brag about it. But because you want it.
You overwork. You don’t need it, you want it.
Sometimes, you hurt people. With your words. Not to feel good. But to show them they deserve it.
A “need” is escaping from something.
A “want” is reaching your dark side.
You do not need to be kind. If you want to be kind, be kind. If you want to speak the truth, speak all of it. The reaction of the other side is not your responsibility.
Reach your dark side. As long as you reach, you will see that it is not dark at all. It is pure you.
