<center><h1>Transform your Comment into Cash</h1></center>
<h3><p>Welcome to Steemit Comment Challenge #17!!!<br>
</p></h3>
<p><b>Are you ready to deliver some amazing comments?</b><br>I hope so, because it is now time to kick off Steemit Comment Challenge #17. Payout for this round will be 20SBD, again split into two prizes, 15 SBD to the winner and 5 SBD to the runner-up</p>
<p><b>This week we have a lovely Guest Judge with us, please welcome @amariespeaks! She recently donated 5 SBD to this challenge. So please be so kind to visit her blog and send her some love. :)</b></p>

<p>The partnership with @davemccoy and @mudcat36 and their #newbieresteemday initiative will continue. They will encourage "newbies" to join this challenge, with the aim to support and motivate better participation, and what better way to interact with others than through excellent comments.</p>

<p>Get ready to deliver some magnificent comments! Polish your keyboard and sharpen your mind, I wanna see those comments rolling in. <b>Please show me what you have got!</b>
</p>

<p>It is important to get followers, but you also want the correct type of followers. Followers that are truly interested in your blog and what you write, and not the <b>“I-follow-you-if-you-follow-me”</b> kind of type. And to attract the right type of followers, you need to write godlike comments.</p>
<p>This challenge is all about writing godlike comments.</p>

<ul>
  <li><b>In each challenge a post from a fellow minnow will be featured.</b></li>
  <li><b>The challenge is to write an amazing comment related to that post.</b></li>
  <li><b>I will resteem the post.</b></li>
  <li><b>I will give it a 100% upvote.</b></li>
</ul>
<p>This will be part of my campaign to help other Minnows. The <a href="/trending/minnowsupportproject"> #minnowsupportproject</a> helped me and I want to help others. </p>
 
<p>Join the challenge and practice your skills. </p>
<p>Please join the fun! 💓 💓</p>
<center><p><img src="https://steemit-production-imageproxy-web.s3.amazonaws.com/U5du31JxWrpGy7E7N6ZUgnw4WbjqbrA" /></p>That will be me reading your entries...</center>

<p>We will have a 1st and 2nd place with the following prizes:
<ul>
  <li><b>1st prize - 15SBD.</b></li>
  <li><b>2nd prize - 5SBD.</b></li>
</ul>
</p>
 
<center><h1>Rules and conditions </h1></center>
<b><ul>
  <li>The comment should be relevant to the content below in: <b>&quot;Post To Review&quot;</b>.</li>
  <li>The entry needs to be written as a comment to <b>this</b> post.</li>
  <li>Entries limited to one per person.</li>
  <li>I will reply to your comment confirming it is a valid entry.</li>
  <li>The challenge ends at the end of the 7th day of this post.</li>
  <li>To vote for an entry, reply to the comment with the words "vote or voted"</li>
  <li>Upvotes are allowed to make the entry more visible, but the upvotes themselves play no role in the challenge.</li>
  <li>The Top5 entries with the most votes(i.e. replies with the words "vote or voted") will be potential winners.</li>
  <li>The judges will pick the winner from the Top5.</li>
  <li>For the 2nd Prize, the judges are free to pick any of the contestants.</li>
  <li>If the judges can not reach a consensus, they will each pick one candidate and flip a coin. @dorabot will be used for this in MSP's Discord server.</li>
  <li>If the winner is not a Minnow, the prize will be split in 2 and the other half paid out to the best Minnow. After all, this is a competition to encourages Minnows, so hopefully that will be fair.</li>
  <li>The definition for a Minnow from <a href="/trending/minnowsupportproject"> #minnowsupportproject</a> will be used. A Minnow is someone with less than 5K SP. (I have removed the followers requirement as I don't see that as relevant.)</li>

There is no light without darkness, no good without bad. I guess the "bad" things in life exist only for comparison; a way to show us the good.

Dude, thanks for that dude! :)
I should really get a grip of the other steps as well. I get easily distracted and spend the time on the wrong things. Stuck in a for loop or something silly like that. :)

We all deal with that to some degree. Look for what works best to keep you on track. For me it's not eating till the work is done and using a bullet journal to stay organized. Just don't give up :D

> The darkness is what really shows us who we are. It is our darkness that tests our virtues and brings out our true character.

This is true, but I also want to bring it up to another level. If darkness is all the negative feelings that we have, then **"darkness is something that helps us grow"**

By being scared, we learn to avoid danger.
By being anxious, we have the urge to try to find a solution.
By feeling lonely, we try to reconnect with our family and friends.
By reaching a dead end, we try to find a way out of comfort zone.
etc.

So those dark negative feelings are the ones that actually help us grow. To expand our capabilities, to help us learn the dangers, to navigate us through trials and errors. We should embrace and welcome them. Use the darkness inside us to grow.

Confirmed!

Maybe a bit off topic but this came to my mind.
“Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there”

Thanks so much for the honor @danielsaori ! I can't wait to read all the magnificent comments that will be inspired by this great post from @meditationmann !! 

He brings up a topic that I feel is an important one and one that everyone can benefit from thinking on a bit - but also everyone can benefit from *hearing* what others discover when they take a look inside and shine a light into their darkness. We realize we're not so bad after all, we are not alone in our fears or thoughts, we see how strong we really are when we relate to another person's struggle or triumph. We say if they made it - I can too! 

So go forth and write awesomeness to each other!

👍 danielsaori, bashadow, meditationmann

Your darkness will certainly transform you when you are mature enough to allow yourself to be taught that life is a constant teacher at different stages, if you take advantage of every situation you enter, then you will be transformed. Otherwise you will only exist, many people do not like the light, because in the light whatever you do (good or bad) will be exposed, but in the darkness it will not be exposed, forgetting that if you are hit by a strong light you will be blinded affecting your sight. You should try your best in light and in darkness, because you live and not only exist. The whole creation goes through light and darkness every day, but we do not see nature whining nor complaining. We need to be mature enough to understand this simple fact!

I'm 100% Agree with every word you have written in this post.
This is our life is all about. Happiness can never teach us, it's the sorrow that teaches us how to live in bad or sad circumstances.
It teaches us how to tackle these bad days.
For the darkness part of this post, Darkness is what we feel in our inner, we feel the emptiness, and this darkness let us think what is missing and this brings us back to our God, then we start praying with our full passion,
 Then we found the real meaning of our life, for what we are here,
we are here for helping others in the best way possible.
and you talked about a 7-year-old child who has fear of this world, who fear to fall. In the last week I've seen this fear in my 58-year aunt, she just fell from bike and her hip bone was broken and She just had operation for it, Whenever we try to move her from one place to another, I saw fear in her eyes and her that fear reminds me the of our childhood fear, In this part of life we just need love of our loved ones, nothing else.
and also that love can get you out from that darkness you feel inside of you.
Thanks 
Regards Abdulmanan

#### Can we understand it this way too? ####


Gold sparkles as the daylight when it has gone through a section of high intense heat in the fire furnace. The Goldsmith passes through hell of heat putting in a worthwhile effort to refine the raw gold, then beaten to form adorable instruments.

Just like the Goldsmith passes through hell of heat, we might have to confront heaps of issues, that might seemingly cause us *to drop down our hands*, a way to surrending to defeats.
> The darkness is what really shows us who we are. It is our darkness that tests our virtues and brings out our true character.

Through the hell of heat, the Goldsmith endures. The Goldsmith's *darkness* is the endurance he shows through the section of high-heating the raw gold to what becomes adorable instrument(s).
Similarly, our *darkness* test our virtue and brings out the very best in us as individuals.

#### In turn, the endurance shown in our *dark times* builds or forms *deep rooted love* in us . ####

Thereafter, love lift us up and also help to accommodate others, thus, impacting the world positively, just like as the Goldsmith benefits at the end from the whole stress and other lovers of gold too.

 #### Job well done @meditationmann. Thanks for organizing this @danielsaori. ####

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” — Leo Tolstoy

The polarity in us is innate, we have both dark side and light side. If we human are ever honest with ourselves, everyone has a dark side to their personalities. It's up to us to choose whichever way we're going to live/lead our lives. Even if you are to start out on the dark side, it doesn't mean you have to continue your journey that way. You will always have the time to turn it around and change for the better and one thing I know about love is that  whether you've love and won — or loved and lost, it's ALWAYS worth it.

Thank you very much @danielsaori, this is indeed an awesome competition. Interacting and engaging with other Steemians will definitely increase your network. :)
I totally agree with @meditationmann, life is full of uncertainties. We must be able at all times to be ready to face whatever challenges that comes our way. I know it's not easy, but this is the fact of life. It's like we are always riding on a roller coaster, there are ups and downs. We as individuals must learn how to enjoy the moment when we are up and face the lowest point with courage. We can't run, we can't hide because we will be haunted by the ghost of our conscience. Instead of escaping from the darkness we must bring out the light in us to brighten our darkest  days. 
For me everything has an end! Nothing is constant in this world so as our problems. Whenever I am in my darkest and lowest part of my life I always say to myself that this too shall pass because everything  has an end. This gives me strength to face challenges because in the darkest hours the tiniest light will definitely shine bright. That light that peaks throught the hole gives us hope and strength. 
I have been through my lowest last year, that was my darkest because I lost my mom. I was almost eaten up by the darkness, eaten alive with all of my hopes gone. But the tiniest light grew big and as  the days pass I see myself already in the sunlight, smiling again. 
Strength in facing darkness comes from the acceptance that this will make us grow as a better person, this will make us a better version of ourselves and that whatever battles we face we will be able to surpass it and emerge triumphant!

Just like the saying ," at the end of the tunnel ,there is light". Nice writeup @meditationmann.. I really think this writeup has to do with experience..if not,well kudos! Most things are just words and opposite,eg darkness and light,good and bad. And these opposites are needed in order to compare things.For example,if something is not good,then its bad,if its not right then its wrong.
 Just want to top it up with this biblical saying," sadness is only but for a while,joy comes in the morning". The morning indicates light and generally depicts a good thing,while darkness can depict a lot of things,either ignorance,fear,wickedness,or bad stuffs"
Nice work @meditationmann..And thanks to @davemccoy and @danielsaori for organizing this contest...let the best man win!

I once knew this guy, OK OK OK, it wasn't a guy, it was a worm.
This tiny, ugly worm. &#128027;
He was just plugging and chugging through life.
You know...
&#10004; eating and pooping...
&#10004; He was growing bigger, so every once in awhile he would shed.
&#10004; Enjoying the sunshine and the rain...
You know...
enjoying life... &#10004;
living life to its fullest! &#10004;

His buddy &#128027; asked him how life was treating him.
He explained life is GREAT.
I can't imagine it ever being any better!&#128526;

One day because of reasons unknown to him, he decided to hang down from a twig. And he started spinning a web around himself. He kept at it. Next thing he knew, all was completely dark.
He was inside what most would call a cocoon.
Then, bizarre as it sounds, he eats himself. He releases enzymes that change him into nothing more than what appears to be bug soup.
This must be the darkest point in his life. I mean, can you imagine having no eyes to see? So, it is very, very dark. And having no brain to even interpret what he would see if he had eyes. Can you imagine that?

If he could communicate at this point, he would likely tell everyone how terrible life is! He can't see and he can't even think. No more eating and pooping and shedding and getting wet and drying out and just looking around and worst of all no friends to talk to... It doesn't get much worse than that, now does it?

But inside this soup are some things called imaginal discs. These are the various parts of his future body.
Open up the cocoon at this point and that's it. He likely dies. &#128554;
But leave him in the darkness and protection of the cocoon and each of these discs transform into the various parts that make up a butterfly or moth. Wings, eyes, legs, antennae... ...

He can see now and his brain interprets that it is dark.
He stretches and :::poof::: the cocoon breaks open.
He sees light. He sees the world.
He flaps his wings and discovers ***he can fly!!!***

Hey, how's life treating you?
Wrong answer...
&#128545; I had a period of darkness in my life.
Correct answer...
&#128526; I had a period of darkness in my life and I used it as an opportunity to transform myself into a way cooler being.

Next time you enjoy the beauty of a butterfly, remember this little story and rejoice that he had the strength to break through the dark part of his life!
### and remember... YOU CAN, TOO!

> For most of our lives we have been told what to think, feel, eat and how we should act. A big part of this programming is the suppression of emotions that we are feeling and the fact that we are shunned for feeling emotions.
Our emotions are what makes us humans; embrace them!

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; " A big part of this programming" the most important 6 words that people really need to think about. "get over it already!" "no need to cry about it it happened it's over" "do you really care" "you are not 7 years old anymore" "move past it" People need to think what is the programming, the feeling a person has that leads others to those reactions, or the reactions people have toward your feelings? 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; To "get over it" leads a person no where, it is the understanding of the feeling that will set the person free, that understanding will not be achieved overnight, and that some understanding will take a life time to figure out. A person should never get over the feeling. Asking them to do something like that is the equivalent of telling them they should cut their toe off when they are hopping around like crazy in pain from stubbing it. Why people always want other people to kill parts of what make them who they are I will never understand. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Keep your feelings, keep your toe, keep your ego. They are all part and parcel of what make you **you**.

He feels lonely, seeking for who to confide in
Laying helplessly, thinking of the hard situations which doesn't make him grin,
Pondering day and night, of who could save him from this shameful dilemma
With his loss of Sight, making life more unbearable with this growing stigma
Growing hopeless, He decides to give up on life
Knowing there exist not other reason to strive
But then a voice with utmost loudness calls saying:
"YOUR DARKNESS WILL TRANSFORM YOU"

Dark and light should have no effect on life, dark and light, but if it meant dark is evil and the light was good then the second is the balance of life.

If all life is the light = good God then how to act on the creation of the heaven and hell.

Carl Gustov Jung, a Swiss psychoanalyst, seems to have explored some of the sentiments  you expressed when he explored what he called the shadow. For Jung, the shadow was the dark part of ourselves that we typically renounce and say "this is not me." It  can be merely the traits you have but do not accept (but need to because they are you as well). But it can also be your best understanding of what evil actually is, and you recognize it since it is, despite your efforts to run, in the end just you.


Embracing all of yourself can be the only whole response to the darkness you will encounter, if you are brave enough to seek it. In your moving post you describe the compartmentalization of feelings (actually parts) that occurs when someone is traumatized.  The technical name for this is dissociation, and while we all do it, anyone who survives trauma likely has to rely more than most on this tendency to split ourselves into safe solid admirable self, and weak, terrified, and possibly vengeful victim. Usually there are many other splits as well but bringing them all together is a life's work for someone who deals with  inescapable trauma. How to mix this alchemical alloy is a unique opportunity for each individual, but the unwelcome parts, when folded into ourselves, make us who we are, and anything less is at best a life lived with half your soul tied behind your back.

The darkness should not discourage you. 

Of course, every human being gets "examined" by the darkness sooner or later, and this only has to make you stronger. One should never give up trying to overcome his negative emotions. 

After all, there is light in every tunnel, and you only have to try find it. It may be like a play of hide-and-seek, but the light is definitely somewhere hidden. After finding it, the only thing to happen with you is to gain some experience and become stronger, more powerful.
Just then every subsequent darkness will be easier to overcome, and light in the end of the tunnel will be brighter for you. And easier to find.

Just make sure to never give up and proceed your way towards the happiness. It's definitely everywhere around us.

This feeling of emptiness, or was it Darkness
Taking over every cell in my body.
I stand on this earth 
Staring at the Tree on the other side,
A tree As dark as my subconscious,
Train of thoughts sprawling in this 
system,
A chain reaction
Colliding,callous and catatonic.

For the choices made,
Irrespective of the outcome.
For all those heart breaks,
Which reached a dead-end.
For all those creatures in life,
For whom i never existed.
All these just trickery, illusions;
A phase to be long forgotten,
Lessons learned.

There were times of despair,
Maddening sometimes Liberating.
Blame it on fate.
Karma is a Bitch ain't it?
But who cares...
Darkness kicks in.

But all these deep thoughts
By only staring at a tree?
Clouds of silence clogging on this psyche
A carpet of emptiness has been laid
It is this essence of being alone that is to
be understood to tame the beast.

The feeling of eternal Bliss,
Unparalleled by any other sentiment,
Realizing the true meaning of our 
existence.
But know this
Everything has a purpose
A prologue, ultimately an epilogue,
But realizing you tread on this path of life
Being victims of casualty,
It is you who should stand for yourself.

Now Embrace it, this circumstance of
Solitude and darkness...

Hey people,

@noisyboy here!!.

Darkness, the definition of darkness is different for everybody. You need something to relate it from your life, to understand it.

I have explained darkness the best way i con. Poems are quite useful in expressing yourself in a quite vague manner.

but I'm no Poet. lol.
Forgve me if it is bad..haha!! i usually don't write down anything that comes to my head.

 This was such a deep topic, wanted to express my point of view the best way possible.

I create short comics and an amateur at that too. 

Anyway..Thankyou for the opportunity.
and thank you #newbieresteemday for everything.
It was you guys who gave my first episode of my comic a shoutout and resteemed it.

I created the pic for the above poem in Pixton where i also create my comics.

Life is always in phases. The good and the bad. Smooth and rough. Some times we might be passing through the negative phase. It will not always be raining season, some times it will be hard and tough. 
The dark moments are not meant to kill us but to build us. This thought inspired to put up a post yesterday titled 
[FAILED TO SUCCEED | SEEING FAILURE DIFFERENTLY](https://steemit.com/gratefulvibes/@inspiredgideon1/failed-to-succeed-or-seeing-failure-differently)

That one has or is passing through a dark moment does not mean that the person will remain there forever. It's just a phase that will pass with time. 
And within this period one needs be strong and see the light approaching from the end of the tunnel. 

I could remember in 2015 when i lost my dad just two weeks to my first semester exams in my third year in the university. It was heavy but i told myself i was not going to cry because crying will only destabilize me and make me not to focus on my exams. So i had to let it go and pretend as though nothing but yet it was painful because i was the closest to my dad but for the sake of my future, i endured the pains and life went on. 

So if we can see the dim light from afar, we can scale through the darkness.

And darkness sometimes hides good gifts in his sleeves. It can be experience, understanding, courage, wisdom and etc. We have to look through the pain to receive those. It may be a curse at the first, but it can turn in to a blessing.

For me, the darkness means failure...

You've been training, studying, or whatever it is you do, so hard, so long, but even with all the hard work, all the sweat, the blood, to make you feel like it's gonna be worth it, you still have that damned feeling that you might not make it, that you will not pass, that you will not qualify to proceed to the next round? That you aren't good enough?

It feels bad.

You know what feels worse?

When you really don't make it, when you really can't pass, when you really are eliminated.. when you really aren't good enough.

And do you know what exaggerates that feeling of inadequacy? How, somehow, just about everyone else around you just flies on through without even a hint of difficulty, without even a hint of stress, without a drop of sweat. While you've been working your ass off for the past night, the past week, the past YEAR, and yet it's still not enough to get what you want, what you need, what you've been dreaming of..

That feeling sucks. I know firsthand.

The trick is.. to not let it get to you, to go on with your life and say that you ARE smart, you ARE a good provider, a good student, a good son or daughter,.. that you ARE good enough. Just because someone did better than you doesn't mean that you're bad at it, that you're a dunce.

Granted, that trick is hard to learn. It may take some time, but you'll feel better, you won't stay like this forever. Someday, your efforts WILL pay off, and when it does, prepare to reap the rewards.

In the life of two negatives will not be positive. Although you and I are equally negative but if we believe in ourselves we will be strong, so why are you so afraid to live with me. It is true that two darkness can not create light, but in darkness if there is someone with you is not the darkness will be reduced.

[This](https://steemit.com/darkness/@meditationmann/your-darkness-will-transform-you) Post by @meditationmann is a very thought provoking subject. Without trauma in our lives, there are many important aspects of humanity that are extremely difficult to achieve without it. One of the most important I believe is empathy. Without empathy we cannot put ourselves in someone else’s shoes for a day to imagine what life is like for them. Another important personality trait which is developed through trauma is compassion, for without experiencing trauma in our own lives it is very difficult to have compassion for those that have experienced trauma in their own. In my humble opinion, empathy and compassion are 2 of the most important traits that someone can have and when I have met people in this lifetime who are lacking in these areas it is a very ugly and disappointing experience. From my own experiences, i have found that people with large amounts of empathy and compassion are very caring people and while I do not wish trauma on anyone, I am very thankful that it creates a more loving and caring world for us to live in. It is a necessary part of the human experience that makes life so much more worth living. Without knowing what is bad, how can we know what is good. Without knowing sadness, how can we know joy. Every emotion, trait, and experience we have has a flip side for a reason. Without the flip side we would not be human.

What a great post @meditationmann. Really good work mate.

I love this post because I can relate to pretty much everything that is said. It stirred up in me lessons I have learned but forget to focus on and made me look at some things from new perspectives.

>We separate from the part of ourselves that experienced this trauma in order to be able to survive because it is the only thing we know how to do.

Man, how true this is! Speaking from experience, when I experienced trauma as a child, it forced certain dichotomies to rise up. In my limited way of thinking, I thought either the people who are supposed to protect me are incapable and deeply flawed, or there is something deeply flawed within me. Safety is paramount for children, so we prioritize keeping our guardians blameless. That forces the issue inward. It must be me. I must be defective. The next step is to take those broken pieces, bury them deep, and never look back.

The relationship between trauma and triggers fascinates. I had a therapist once describe them as 10-2 reactions. Something happens that should warrant a level 2 reaction, but I respond with a forceful 10. What the heck? It is literally like that thing takes you all the way back to the origination of the wound.

>Our emotions are what makes us humans; embrace them!

Amen. I don't know if the massive suppression of emotions is exclusively a male experience, but it is very clear the culture actively discourages boys from being emotional. What a scandal.

>Instead of seeing ourselves for our true divine potential, we begin to see our identity as our darkness.

^That is a powerful truth right there. Yes, we must go through the darkness (I call it the wasteland), but it is also dangerous. While burying the emotions is a terrible coping mechanism, it does provide *some* shelter from the heavy feelings. Diving head first into that space and tearing down all of those walls can easily send us into spirals. Negative acting out can actually increase as we start to do this work. It usually gets worse before it gets better.

I think that is why it is so important to have a community that walks with you. Ultimately, this is your journey and no one else can do the work of walking through your darkness. But their love and companionship will go with you and help keep you safe.

I think I should wrap up this ramble! I really liked your post and thanks for sharing your insights!

Cheers,
Sam

#this is my answer and great game again @danielsaori :)

Wow, this is a very good post and deep in its meanings.  I love your analysis and the way you simplified such a complex topic.  Its true what you said about the duality that many think in terms of, and what many do not recognize is that there is a group of people that exploit this human tendency.  

I also believe that the solution is "love"... That's why the people in power use the opposite of love, "hate" to divide us.  

<center>![hate recipe.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNUEshGwKWCNLXDhQxLsD4YYY5MWWQ577DaRDXTXiDtdW/hate%20recipe.png)</center>

Until we understand that "love" is the answer, this wonderful world we have been blessed with will continue to be underappreciated.  I agree completely with you too that it starts within yourself!

Thanks Dave! I guess it takes an conscious decision and effort to get out from the darkness. The easy path is to stay on the dark side. 
That started to sound like Yoda... 😉
But what a reward it is to break out and overcome the hate with love.

A lovely piece you've got here @meditationmann. While reading this post, the first thing that came to my mind was a song by Deon Jackson, titled *''Love makes the world go round ''.*
It does not matter whether it's darkness or light that fills the world, as long as love is available, the world will keep going round.

Darkness and light are just natural entities, they are neither good nor bad. It all depends on your mindset.

As a vivid example, we all know that gold is not shinny and sparkling in the ground, but rather it is dirty and unattractive. But the moment it passes through the furnace, under very high temperature and pressure, it looses all its impurities, and becomes the gold we all desire. You see that the darkness in the form of a furnace, was actually aimed at making the gold a better gold. That seeming darkness (unimaginable heat) , was the road the gold required to follow to get to its attractive state.

Another example. For those who hate to sleep with the lights switched on, the moment you switch on the light, they would immediately yell at you to switch of the light. Their mindset at that point is that light is bad, and darkness is good. Darkness and light are not bad things in themselves, it is the mindset with which you view them that determine whether they becomes bad of good.

Let's us cultivate the mindset of not complaining during dark periods, but let us through the instrument of love, cultivate a learning mindset, and hence be able to use this darkness for good, by being of help to our neighbors who go through similar situations, hence making the world go round through our actions of love.

Darkness is what gives meaning to light. Imagine an ideal someone who hasn't been in low moments. He doesn't know what makes the difference between where he is and the ground. High & low, weak & bold, light & dark. The world is a place of balance, where opposites balance each other and that's what makes life beautiful. 
Life has taught me that you can fuel either you choose to with energy, the dark where your despair, worries, weakness are or you can choose to use that energy like a train to push to the light at the end of the tunnel.
Ever wonder why space is dark, why dark matter exists? Ever wonder why the night side of earth looks beautiful from space?
It's because each twinkle of a star you see reminds us humans of the tiny hope flashing at us in the dark, knowing that the darkest moment is a passing phase and like they rightly say, the darkest hour is just before the dawn. 
Darkness is not evil.. It has a purpose 
When the dark clouds clear, you value the beauty the light brings into sight...

thank you for this great contest.
honestly I was moved to comment on,
I am just a month in steemit, seeing this is a great place and surrounded by great people like you guys. I am sure steemit will grow rapidly thanks to people like you.
the core I want to say is, every comment we want to write does not have to be long, but the most important thing is the quality of our comments, because what? because this is verbal communication, everyone has a way, how to make people we comment on understand and interested to reply or upvote. one sentence of our comment if it is concerning the core of the post will be more meaningful than a meaningless long sentence.
for me and anyone who can not speak active english, to write a long comment is a difficulty. I must translate the post, then write a comment on google translate and translate it back to then copy paste in the post you want to comment on. can you imagine how difficult it is?
so many beginners who spread spam comments such as "good post" "i like it" and others. they many do not understand, and unfortunately many large accounts immediately mendownvote them without any explanation. I've experienced it before, and it's so sick and losing my spirits to get back to commenting. then came some people to teach me how to comment and other things. I am grateful to be met with such a person. people who encourage us to return like you @danielsaori

I commented using google translate, can you imagine how destroyed gammar.hahaahaha
but I am still excited.

"Our emotions are what makes us humans embrace them"- this statement summarises or rather is a clear formular to understanding how life works.Our everyday experiences and how we handle them moulds us into the person you and i are today.
Life experiences are so important and as such one shouldn't feel as though the world is against such a person. These things make u stronger. Its hard i know and ofcourse you will have several emotions. own those emotions. I think we all need to understand each other and try to live a relatively peaceful life. No one is bad or good. What you see as negative(darkness) or positive has its lessons, you just need to have an open mind.

Life on earth is the combo of dark and light moments. Dark and light moments in one's life are just like two sides of a coin. In our life, we must overcome the dark moments by vigilantly utilizing the energy gained during the light moments.
Dark moments in life is also just like an exercise to face the challenges of the real world.

I love the idea of taking the path *through* the darkness. My immediate thought when reading that is how a theme that has emerged between my wife and I and our kids is that discomfort is okay. We can handle hunger, thirst, fatigue, and in fact such feelings are often necessary to endure to get the big payoff — a beautiful view during an epic hike, or the pride of accomplishing  new fitness goal. Of course, you’re post is more about the dark emotional times we experience, but I think the same idea applies. We will not appreciate the light, or possibly won’t even recognize it’s beauty and wonder, unless we have traveled through darkness. And you add the next level of actually embracing it. I will be mulling this over for a while. Thanks!

I think the power of great literature - the number one reason to read "the great books" - is that it helps us deal with the darkness mentioned by @meditationmann. All of us, sooner or later, must confront this darkness and literature gives us a way to understand the conflicting emotions inside of us. In some cases, literature gives us comfort during the exact moments we are experiencing darkness in our lives, because it helps us recognize the bonds of humanity that unite us all. In other cases, literature prepares us to handle this darkness in the future. 

One memory in particular stands out, and it dates back to my high school English class. We were reading Shakespeare's "King Lear," and it was obvious that nobody was really getting it. We couldn't possibly understand the pain and darkness of a king who had lost everything - his daughters, his kingdom and his mind. What would you do if you lost everything, including the people most dear to you? That was the true genius of Shakespeare - to share the light and darkness and make it timeless.

The darkness is what really shows us who we are, you write in your post, however, I think it is the relationships with others that show us who we are, the others are the mirror we have of ourselves. The relationship with our parents, brothers, friends and acquaintances, is programming our personality. It is true that darkness gives us the opportunity to see, to experience a part of ourselves that is hidden. But, I think it does not define us. It is my opinion. Congratulations for your post, very interesting.

The pain and betrayal was much and I thought I wouldn't survive it. 

I sacrificed my all to them but they still stabbed me at the back

*They felt no guilt for hurting me*

*They took my kindness for weakness* 

*They took my love for granted* 

It seemed like all my strength had been taken away from me 

*I cried,  I questioned my worth* 

*I felt darkness all over me*

*Nobody to support me* 

*No one to stand by me*

I stayed in that dark room for long

No growth, no improvement, just stagnancy 

*I desired a change, I prayed🙏for one and worked for it*

All of a sudden,  there was this awakening, 

An eye opener, a self discovery, a new sense of confidence, a new feeling of self love 

*It was a new dawn in my life*

*My pain made me wiser and stronger*

My experiences made me value myself and my time

I Came to an understanding that praying to God not to face challenges was ME indirectly telling him i didn't want to grow. 

Challenges, obstacles is a sign that you have outgrown your present level and need to step up 👆 

Problems are not punishments but reinforcers to become the best that you are meant to be. 

*If you look closely,  that darkness is a blessing in disguise.........*

In Darkness, we see who we truly are 
A slumbering or a self determined human
In darkness, we bring out the part we show to no one 
A part we keep to ourselves due to regret or self love
Why do we make less mistakes when our eyes are closed
Because it's a moment we act with caution
In darkness we show to the world every talent we possessed
You do better when no one is watching, unless you're being forced 

**If the Darkness brings out the best of my talent
Why should I seek for a light at the end of my tunnel**

Life has always acted the ironic role
For we are scared of darkness like its some part of a tactic
Yet the dark holds brighter hope like a state receiving her taxes
When do you lay with the hope of seeing tomorrow 
When do you cry with the hope of making a better throw
For this is the moment we settle things that are hot to handle
Even the achievers  use this moment to burn the midnight candle
For what we decide in darkness shall be the outside "us" portion
What a man is going to do, when he is out of option.

...perhaps it is not the darkness, nor the light that need draw attention, but rather all of the shades of gray in between them.  It is these  shadows cast by our very own transitions that demonstrate both our growth as conscious beings, and our wounds and scars .

If you spin the ying yang symbol of the tao fast enough, there comes a point where all of the white becomes metallic grey; yet the black remains untouched whilst the wheel spins.

In my opinion length will not affect my vote - a lot can be said in few words, just because someone writes a book as a comment doesn't guarantee (IMO) a win. Sometimes the lengthy ones are too much. I will be voting based on over all message of the comment and looking for a honest glimpse into the mind/heart of the commentor - but the word limit idea would be completely up to @danielsaori as this contest is solely his creation :)

Thanks for the suggestion. It hit my mind as well to have some kind of limit, especially when seeing some of the book-like comments. But I wouldn’t be for a strict limit, it would only add on the administration burden, and what happens if someone wrote a great comment with one word over the limit.

I’m also thinking along the lines of @amariespeaks. A lengthy one gives no plus points, rather the opposite in my judgment.

I will add some guidelines to encourage shorter comments in upcoming rounds.

Thanks again!

Experiencing failures at some point in our lives is perhaps what makes you, me, and other people not different from each other. Many of us may feel the loneliness and helplessness in the darkest moments of our lives. But it is in darkness where we use our senses more to feel and to listen rather than to see and judge things the way they exactly appear before our eyes. It is in darkness where we learn to open our eyes searching for the right answers. It is in darkness where we learn to look in all  directions and start moving towards the light, even if it the dimmest of hopes.

As said by the great Francis Bacon, "In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present". So stand up, brush yourself up, and continue moving forward. Look for that light and follow it with courage and determination. You may fall hard many times but you should never lose hope. For once you reach that rock bottom point in your life, there is no other way to go but UP.

Firstly I want us to learn from God, in the beginning, when God created the heaven and earth, the next thing that showed up was darkness. But God never gave up because of that.

One of my greatest discovery in life is that, those who quit never win and those who win never quit.

![images.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSfszA9QyQf2YWXuWpZbA3mYvA2nP1FQnneJGeQ159S1F/images.jpg)

Everyone in life has a dark room experience, but those who overcome are those who never thought of giving up.

They way out of a problem is not running away, but confronting the problem and providing an idea that would bring solution to such problems. 

I once told my self that, problems only comes to those who have solutions. The only reason a challenge comes to me is because I am strong,able and competent.

When everywhere seems like a desert, the next thing is not to be discouraged. In such case, there is a need for a hero to arise, and that hero is no one other than you.

Trouble doesn't kill but makes you stronger. Darkness doesn't cage you down forever but makes you think of inventing light.

Even in the beginning when God was creating all things, the first thing that showed up was darkness. It was from the idea of darkness that God thought of inventing light as the solution to darkness.

So I'd just say, whatever might be the darkness in your life, it is not there to stop you but you can always use it as an opportunity to become stronger, wiser, smatter and greater.

Wow!!! This is amazing 
I must say you guys has done absolutely well by bringing up this great contest...and it is really amazing that there is someone out there that is so much concerned about minnows..below is my contribution to the contest:


There is always a saying that "tough times do not last, but tough people do"....so in other for us to overcome all life problems and challenges, we should therefore be a tough being...Though challenges might come, but as a Child of God we should never slack.. We should face such challenge with the wisdom and power of God that has been bestowed upon us...Our Lord God has made us so perfect in him and he has given us authority over the things on the earth, so we can overcome all life problems with the conciousness of Gods authority over us...We are solution providers and problem solvers...

Thanks for this wonderful contest.

One day, I sat down and thought about all the leaders and world champions on STEEMIT I discovered. What did they do when they had to drive this racing car we call STEEMIT without any steering wheel?

They got in the seat, put on the seatbelt and enjoyed the goddamn ride to the best of their ability. They ran over stuff. They hit walls. They crashed in the rain. Basically, they had fun with it.

**Never give up!**

Being successful on this great platform lies on your commitment and consistent toward it.

Really appreciate this wonderful platform (STEEMIT) it has really impact positively in so many lives. I hope the same joy goes to us all.

A very awesome post @meditationmann. I was interested in it first because @danielsaori directed me to your page, but then when I read the post, I found out that it was about a discussion am passionate about - **getting stronger through darkness**

In my 27 years of experience here on earth, I have come to realize that there is not one person here on earth who will avoid some sort of struggle, darkness or ‘desert experience’ in life. For the very fact that you are a human being, alive and breathing means that you are prone to experiencing all that life has to offer – the celebrations and mourning, wins and losses, good and evil, light and darkness.

Truth be told, the experiences we have during dark times are usually not pleasant, that’s why they are called ‘dark times’. During these times, we ask questions like ‘why me?’

While writing this comment, the loss of my dad while I was still a teenager became fresh again in my mind, that feeling of being lost in the deepest pit of darkness, with no ray of light to cling unto as a hope for tomorrow. So I know firsthand what it is like to be in darkness.

But what we don’t realize (which when I realized helped be overcome my grief) is that darkness is a gift from life itself. Every struggle, pain, or sorrow you go through is a gift. It is a gift because it is only in dark rooms that people search for light. Darkness brings you to your knees, questioning the true purpose of your existence. It is a gift because it makes you look deep into yourself to discover the treasures lying dormant in you.

There is a popular quote “What does not kill you makes you stronger”. That is so true. That means that a darkness that you don't allow to overcome you makes you stronger. So we can say that darkness can produce good benefits if handled properly. When you are faced with darkness, you have a choice to either give up or to draw from the well of treasures that flows within you, and come through it better and stronger than you were before the darkness.

Finally, we all have heard of a lot of testimonies of people who were grateful for the darkness they experienced in the past, stating that it made them much better people. They did not testify for talking sake, but meant every bit of what they said. I know this because I am part of this group of people. My darkness of the death of my father was tough and hard, but am grateful to God for it, because that darkness was what contributed to me being born-again, having a relationship with God, which is the best experience a person can ever have (IMO).

So, I invite everyone reading this post to come join us – a group of people that are thankful for their dark experiences. Don’t run from your darkness, but rather embrace it so that you can come out brighter and better, like pure gold from the burning furnace.

One of the biggest setbacks I've faced is dwelling in my darkness. Yes! I mean dwelling in my fears for so long and not find the courage to move one. Only when I found the courage to try, to take a step, to move on and to grow, that's when I find the real transformation inside out! 

I just saw this contest, It's 10 hours to go. my fears says "You can't", the darkness says "you're late!" But I've learned to be transformed by my darkness; to ignore the shooting voice inside and try. In trying, I'll learn. In trying I can win. That's the transformation. Yes! The true transformation comes in doing the needful, doing what is important to you. If going back to school is what you yearn for, do it. Is it traveling the world? Do it. It didn't work out the last time you tried? Try again. In trying again, you enable yourself to live your life at its fullest, the past is the past, it’s time to move away from it. That's when we truly get transformed. 

Thank you @danielsaori, and thank you @meditationmann. Now I feel a greater transformation within me as I hit the post button to summit my comment. I'm transformed!

I thiNk im a little late but i'll still try it out.  First of all i would like to say thank you for this opportunity and i would also commend that post made by @meditationmann's post i loved it! 
I totally agree on the things he said on that post,  truly you have to embrace both the light and the darkness to fully know yourself ajd to gain control over it.  You cannot love the light without embracing the darkness/vice versa. Those times of feeling being stuck in an endless void is a learning process for us to know ourselves better and to come out of it stronger than ever. And once we go through the darkness thats also the time for us to see the light on the other side :)  so keep walking through it, keep conquering,  because the light is always on the other side of the tunnel.
