Hmm. That to me speaks between unconscious (dark) and conscious (light) creation. I've noticed myself that there's so much potential to the imagination in darkness, letting lots be created without having to specify. When we look at something and light it up lots, creation often seems to slow down to a crawl. There's some truth there for sure.
Though, I believe in a balance (much like the yin yang shows), where conscious and unconscious are not out of alignment with our hearts, and ...knowing that chaos isn't really random, but something much more interesting, mysterious, and in some cases divine (as contradictory as that could sound).
Personally, I'll never give up on the big dreams, including world peace, and full on happiness. Do I think it's possible? maybe not, but it's like.. The more of it the better. And if it's not possible, then I'll never touch it, but I can treasure whatever I do live of it (still working on that

). Not to say I don't get horribly disappointed when I step from that motivation to attachment of those things.
Screw society? As it is, Sure. I would not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. There's much potential to what society Could be. Can it be so much better within our life time? Who knows, it's at least a dream to look to. And of course.. I'm still looking for a way for goodness to stay alive even without conflict there (or, to transcend it). For the wisdom gained from it to be integrated into a new way of being. I'll let everyone know when I find it
