I am still in the dark (or in the light)

[malten]

Hi everyone. I am am a new member, or at least i percieve that i am a new member, whether real or imaginary. Could anyone tell me which of the two between darkness and light comes first. Do we have darkness and then shine some light to it, or do we have the shining light that we just obscure in some angle to make some place look dark?
Remember the statement "There was darkness, then came the light"

Darkness is not what it was once perceived to be, the antithesis of light, it is in fact, just the absense of light. Shooting photons into a space with reflectivity bounces the photons back at you and is percieved as light.

Darkness or black is just all color with no reflection for it to be seen. But I don’t understand how we can have all colors first, unless color eventually seeped out of it and separated itself from dark. That must be why colors fade in the sun, but our skin doesn’t fade so skin cannot be color. It's just transparent layers of cells, but opaque since we cannot see too much inside the body of no color.

A single layer of skin is about as transparent as wax paper. But with lots of laters, it looks solid.

What do you see when you close your eyes ?

Is that darkness?

Thats no light reflecting into your pupils. Unless you look at a bright light, then you can see the light through your eyelids, which are transparant

heres a thaught i just had about how to explain what a blind person "sees" they see exactly what you see out of your foot.

A blind dog sees with it’s nose. I knows this because I played catch the ball blind dog for a couple of weeks. Sounds kinda mean, but she wanted to play. She only missed a couple of times but always left the ball at my front door. I could have been a bitch, like the dog, and thrown it into the pool, but I felt bad every time she snagged her blind eyes across the thorns on the roses, feeling for the ball. Sometimes it was right in front of her, but she just wanted me to throw the deflated ball again.

Welcome percieved new real and imaginary member with an infatuation for dark light or light dark. Actually what originally existed was something called larkdight. It's confusing I know and would be better left to one of the other forums.

Larkdight aside you say little about yourself and get a banana for your efforts.

The number on icon on FC for three years in a row. Enjoy!

light came first, but life needed darkness

Welcome to the Cloud CP.

I suppose light came first, as there was nothing before there was the big bang, and that had to be bright.

So this "nothing" has to be bright, why not dark

The creation of matter was not the beginning, nor will the destruction of matter be the end.

That's an interesting question. Odd too, because I have been thinking about it myself.

I was wondering, if since we often identify with the opposites, and naturally associate positive with a positive term like light, do we have it backwards.

I know nothing would be beyond light and dark as in form, but wouldn't the reflection of form be equated with light, while emptiness, or lack of something existing/standing out/light, would be associated with darkness.

So is light born out of darkness, and we only notice light consuming dark, thereby assuming the light is the source. Perhpas both effect each other, but wouldn't form/light come out of nothing/dark?

I am glad somebody finally enters my world.
