Living as "children of light"

CAROLYN B. SWAN

Darkness is defined as "the absence in part or in whole of light" and also as "absence of moral, religious, or cultural values: spiritual backwardness." It is synonymous with gloom, ignorance, wickedness, iniquity, blindness, secrecy, obscurity, and trouble.
