Light and Darkness

Light and darkness are two fundamental concepts often described in physical, metaphorical, and cultural contexts. Physically, light is a form of electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye, enabling us to see our surroundings. It travels in waves and can have various wavelengths, determining colors. Darkness, by contrast, is the absence of light; in darkness, our ability to perceive objects is limited. Metaphorically, light often represents knowledge, hope, and clarity, while darkness signifies ignorance, fear, and uncertainty. Together, they help us understand balance and contrast in both nature and human experience.
