Why can we not simply have light without the darkness? Why not simply create creation with light and wisdom only and avoid darkness entirely?
If you never have, please adjust your contract on your TV or Monitor. What happens if it is turned all the way down? You will completely loose vision and nothing is revealed. All is hidden in a blanket of darkness, with nothing to be discovered. Now turn it all the way up. Your screen turns completely white everything is over shadowed and veiled in a curtain of light. The end result is the same. Interestingly, either way everything is concealed and hidden.
So when speaking of light and darkness we are to avoid the extremes, which are our Creator in fullness.
Now if we adjust the contrast to the middle, to avoid the extremes, we are in actuality combining light and darkness into an appropriate balance. We are combining the benefits of each and mitigating the pitfalls of each. We have enough darkness to hide the light in order to distinguish objects but enough light to reveal those objects.
