THE DARK SIDE

By
Yes, we all have a dark side, not just the dark side of the moon. 

Have you ever done something that seemed out of your nature and personality to do? What occured to you in such moments? mm! If you are like me, then I know you've done things that you later tried to imagine what came upon you to have done such a thing but couldn't quiet understand.
The holy scripture says "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"(Jer 17:9-10).

After watching a recent movie, "Malignant" where the main character was born with an imaginary fellow that only she could see, she called him Gabriel. People thought it was the resultant effect of the trauma she went through as a kid, that she had to create an imaginary friend to help escape her state. But gradually things began to get out of hand. The imaginary Gabriel began telling her to do terrible things like trying to stab her pregnant mother, thinking she's piercing through a cake and soon to murdering other people.

During each murder, she'll have an illusion seeing Gabriel killed the person, unknown to her she's the very one doing it. 

To cut the story short, she later realized that all the while she've been haunted by this evil, she had actually surrendered to the dark side of her and it's time to take back control and only then was she was able to mentally lock away her imaginary partner and became free. 

 After watching the movie, one thing came to mind. We all have a dark side. Yes, that dark side that tells you to cheat, to steal, to poison someone, to withholds someone credentials so they don't get that job, to lay ambush and hurt people, to envy people's success and even plan their downfall. I can go on listing till forever.

But one thing is certain. Whether the dark side controls us or we control it is solely our choice. Viktor Frankl corroborates it thus; 
"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way".

 Remember; I've got a choice, you've got a choice. Choose wisely.
