Fear the Unknown

Fear is king; king of the shadows and dark corners of the mind. It doesn't eat and it never sleeps; it only hunts and preys on weak souls. It knows every weakness and holds them above every head. No one ever notices it until it is too late. Our fathers and forefathers have been fighting this being only to weaken its hold on them. It is empty, it is unknown; IT IS DARKNESS!!! Darkness, shadows, and the night sky  are all painted black. Black has no simple meaning. It can mean evil, it can mean unknown, it can mean fear itself, yet it can mean nothing. It is one of the two basic colors that make up the world and shapes it. It takes all meaning from other colors and hides them from sight. Artists have portrayed black as death, destruction, and pure evil. Mostly, black is portrayed as the unknown. All beings have fear of the unknown, including people; it is natural for beings who live only with the known. Still, black will always be part of the world and its people; never think that when the sun is up the darkness is gone until night fall.
