Darkness is like power, Dimitri. Whether it's good or bad isn't determined by that it is, but rather what one intends to do with it. But I doubt I need to say that to someone like you. I don't know fully your experiences, but given what you've shared with me today, I can suspect that you are already familiar with what power entails.
