Is darkness more powerful than light?

A black whole takes in everything around it consuming all and shrouding the brightest star in blackness.

Pessimism brings down the optimism in others.
Hate breeds hate and causes war and prejudice.

It is easier to see the flaws in others and feed off this negativity than fight against it.

An outstanding reputation in any walk of life can take years to build and a single stupid mistake to break which can then become seemingly impossible to be fixed or forgotten.

Do you want to confirm to the easy way, the negative way and feed the black hole or fight to be a beacon of light?

It's not easy but nothing worth fighting for ever was. Break the mould my friends and try to see the silver lining around the darkest of clouds.

I am a twenty something writer of crime, fantasy and science fiction mainly. I also like to jot the odd poem to make you think. Hope you enjoy!

Power Of Thought

The power of thought. Be wary you ought. The strength of the mind. Be careful you don't get left behind. The emotional wreckage. Now tied in a cute little package. The uncertainty of a future.

Sometimes we make it Easier to leave each other, but just for a while. Sometimes we stop each other to grow, just by reminding, who, what or how we used to be. Change is not every ones favorit friend.

I May But Not

I may be coping, But not hoping. I may be smiling, But inside crying. I may be stupid, But I can be Cupid. I may repel you, But at least I'm true. I may look gleeful, But I'm also fearful.

Pessimism can also be dispelled by optimism if optimism is authentic. Mustering enough negentropy is the challenge and affirmation just won't do it. Thanks for posting

Negentrophy is a new word for me, looking it up it is a complex notion, must need to read 'What is Life' by Erwin Schrodinger to fully understand it seems. I am an extremely optimistic person but to balance hope and realism in equal measure is the greatest struggle for me personally, easy to be deluded but what is life unless you take risks and wish for the best?

I agree! Fling yourself into the abyss without parachute or safety net! Faith in oneself lends us wings.

Very well put. "A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for" (John Shedd).
