I’m always trying to incorporate new ideas into my life. I’m always trying to do new things, even if it’s the same things that I’ve done for the past twenty years. For me, that means looking at life through different perspectives.
In the latest trailer we see a man, who is trapped in a world of darkness. In a very metaphorical sense, darkness is the opposite of light. Darkness is not the opposite of light. Light is exactly the opposite of darkness. Because light (which is actually just the absence of certain wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum) is a state of being, and darkness is a state of being, they are opposites.
That said, you can’t really have a “dark side” if you’re not trying to manifest it. Light can be seen as black (the absence of certain wavelengths of light) or white (the presence of certain wavelengths of light). The only true darkness is the absence of light. The only true light is the presence of light. When I say embrace the dark side, I mean this.
It’s kind of hard not to embrace the dark side as I’m sure you’re aware. So many of us are caught up in the dark side and don’t even recognize it at all. The darker the better, for sure. Embracing the dark side means trying to not be so obvious about what you are trying to do. It also means trying to not be so obvious about how it affects you.
Its very easy to just tell yourself that you’re so much more open and honest that the whole thing is silly. That you have so much more to be proud of than some people think. And that you’re not afraid to be yourself when you’re in public. But these are just the easiest ways to convince yourself that you’re just a silly bitch like everyone else.
In this video, the devs explain the dark side concept in a way that’s very much like how we talk to ourselves. We often say things like, “I don’t know that I’m cool, I just like my music.” or, “I hate people who think I’m really cool.” Or, “I’m a bitch.” Or, “I’ll always be a bitch.
Sometimes our own self-awareness can be really helpful because it can help us to see that we’re not the only ones who are self-aware. For instance, when I look around this room I’m in, I see the walls, the floor, the ceiling, the windows, and the door. I am not able to see my own reflection in all of these things because I lack self-awareness.
Self-awareness means you are aware of something, and you know you are aware of it. If you are aware of something, you can usually control it. If you can control a thing you see, you can control the outcome of a situation. Self-awareness is a really powerful thing.
I think that it is just as important to understand the difference between self-awareness and self-deception. Self-deception is when you pretend that you don’t know something, or that you don’t care about something. Self-awareness is when you actually know something, or you care about something. These are two very different things and it’s important to recognize that because if you don’t, you can easily get sucked into a trap.
A few nights I was trying to get someone to watch my kids for me. I was so frustrated, I threw my phone and my glasses at the person. It was so dark outside I couldnt see my own face. I was so frustrated that I was shouting at him. I didnt know what I was doing wrong. I was so frustrated that I was yelling at him. But then he grabbed me and put me in a headlock and I was like a little girl wanting to be held.
