~Is the Dark Side in life so hard to see simply because we don't wish to see it? Because we don't want things to be like that? Our ego is confronted by a lack of control, by fear and doubt. We slip into a form of denial...clouding our own minds because of our attachment to how we would have matters be instead of how matters actually are. Clarity takes courage, truth can be unpleasant...The Dark Side isn't hard to see, it's our attachment to an ideal of the Light--instead of existing in each moment of the Living Force--that blinds us~
