Through the process of evolution we are animals and as animals we have a darkness, a viciousness that was, and still is needed for survival ingrained into our being. In our lives here this darkness will never disappear. We must acknowledge it and accept it as a part of who we are. We must bring it into the light of our consciousness, see it for what it is and give it no energy. The force behind any energy will determine its manifestation. We must not dwell in it, for the more we dwell in it the more energy and force we give it. We must not let this darkness manifest into hate. Hate can only create more hate. 

This darkness can be triggered by threats, real or imagined, it can be triggered by injustices to ourselves and others, by politics, by religion, by our own desires and a million other things. As we see it for what it is we can dispassionately analyze it and determine a course of action whether it be to chide ourselves knowing the evolution of our souls need only love or provide motivation to take action to do what we can to help, to right a wrong or to seek justice. Ultimately we will all reap what we have sown and why the path is so very, very narrow.
