light or dark

This is an msn conversation, i had with my good friend Simone.

Simone says:
had a wee think in the shower
Simone says:
i seem to be really really intrugued by the whole idea of 'opposites'..ad 'contrasts' and things like that
rosy says:
hey me too
Simone says:
theyre just so fascinating and theyre everywhere around us
Simone says:
and they are never equal in my eyes, theyre always fighting against each other, and one always will triumph over the other
Simone says:
for example with your cathedral thingy. how on earth can darkness complete with light?
rosy says:
mmm interesting... i like your thinking
Simone says:
darkness flees at the flicker of light
Simone says:
demons tremble at the sound of jesus name
rosy says:
this is an abstract concpt becuase it is intangible
Simone says:
dang intangible stuff
rosy says:
yeah
rosy says:
so how do you visualise it in a way that is tangible
Simone says:
well im not too sure what you mean
Simone says:
what do you exactly mean by tangible
rosy says:
well intangible is incapable of being touched
rosy says:
you cant hold light
Simone says:
hmm. well its not just light im interested in
rosy says:
you can draw it in a tangible way but im wondering how can you visualise the concept of light vs dark
Simone says:
huh?
Simone says:
by visualising it...?
rosy says:
like you can put a black square next to a white square and you have opposties and constrast but not the idea that the light is better than the dark
Simone says:
okay
rosy says:
thats what i was trying t do with my optical stuff, and ina way the light squares jump forward and the dark recede,
rosy says:
but tis not the same
Simone says:
okay so if you put a tiny bit of light in a pitch black room..who wins then?
Simone says:
you cant put darkness into a lit up room...unless you turn out the lights?
rosy says:
a tiny bit of light would repel some dark, but not all of it
Simone says:
but then its not a fair contest
rosy says:
so you light up the room and then theres no darkness
rosy says:
so you lose your concept
rosy says:
i dont know
Simone says:
hmmm
rosy says:
maybe a tiny bit of light is enough to portray the concept
Simone says:
but thats what i mean. they constantly fight against each other and one will always win
Simone says:
doesnt matter which one
rosy says:
ah
Simone says:
oh yeah...so i guess once they win the concept is gone, youre right
rosy says:
darkness will win
rosy says:
light needs a source, but when the source is gone then you have darkness
rosy says:
darkness doesnt need a source it just is
Simone says:
thats right
rosy says:
interesting
rosy says:
im goign to blog this
Simone says:
but what is the source of light?
rosy says:
i think there are many
rosy says:
sun, electricity, fire,
Simone says:
and what is the source of those?
rosy says:
these things are more tangible
rosy says:
then when you start talking about the light of the world
rosy says:
well how do you define that
Simone says:
you cant
Simone says:
its too powerful
rosy says:
in fact how do you define darkness?
rosy says:
darkness is defined by the absence of light
Simone says:
right, and so satan fell into darkness because he rejected gods ways
Simone says:
hes my source of darkness
Simone says:
ahh im going to let you blog it.
Simone says:
im over it
rosy says:
haha, funny
Simone says:
my brain cant compete
rosy says:
that was a good conversation, im not going to think about it either, my brain cant handle the absract
Simone says:
my brain can handle parts
Simone says:
but when it comes to ideas of light and dark, and good and evil. i am biased
Simone says:
and i dont particularly think god wants me to question his power
Simone says:
i accept it as it is
Simone says:
the bible says that light is more powerful than darkness. the bible says that good ultimately overcomes evil
Simone says:
i dont care if its untangible or what the worlds view of the concepts are because the world is contaminated and will be constantly questioning it forever.
Simone says:
so im done with it
rosy says:
well i dont doubt that light will ultimately win, but i still want to grasp the concept in a visual way
Simone says:
oh
Simone says:
i dont think thats too hard. just put light in a dark space
Simone says:
which is what youre doing
