I'm about to go all Emo and Edgy so watch out. A thought occurred to me after watching The Legend of Korra: Beginnings Part 2, that no matter how much we may strive for the greater good or work towards it, we can never eliminate the rotting part of us that causes War and Strife. Without Darkness, there can be no Light, but they must always be present together or not at all. And so despite our efforts to better the world and ourselves, there's always going to be that corrupt part that continually throws all efforts down the drain, so what do we have to work for? A temporary fix to a permanent problem? Or do we just embrace that Darkness and make it what pushes us forward and hope it's more malleable than the Human Condition?
