The Twilight Zone and the Patience of Light

I think I was born into the Twilight Zone. It's that place between the darkside and the lightside. I suppose I got so used to living in the Twilight Zone that I really couldn't tell the difference between members of the light and members of the darkness.

In the Twilight Zone people learn stuff by being told what somebody else said. In the light you learn stuff yourself and learn to appreciate its value. In the darkness, anything goes, but it is always the one with the biggest stick that wins.

I woke up confused into a confused world. The light is so powerful that even just a little bit in a dark place disperses the light. But the people who revel in the darkside prefer the darkness to the light since the presence of light forces them to confront their insecurities. In the darkside, they can freely live out their insecurities.

The Twighlight Zone is a mixture of the light and the dark. Or rather should I say, it is the shadow of the lightside.

Hurry up now, the day is almost passed.
Drift towards the light before the twilight becomes darkness.

I became enveloped in the dark because I did not tend to the light when it moved. I don't understand this: if the light is so powerful, why doesn't it always remain and dispel the darkness for good? Why do we always have to drift towards the light or get left behind? Why can members of the darkside walk in the light as day walkers, but members of the lightside struggle in the dark?

What is it about the darkness that the light does not seem to own?

And why was I born into the Twilight Zone?

For some reason the light is patient with the dark.
