How true that we do need a balance. Unfortunatley that is what are society since the beginning of time has created the need for. That is all we know. We have never known a society that is all pure. It is something sometimes that one would like as an ideal do you not think.
You have raised many good points in your reflection. Can you think of any specific examples to further develop your writing next time?

Why is there darkness in humanity?

If you really think about this question you will see that it is open to many interpretations, we could simply say that it doesn't have a reason to exist, it just does and it's impossible to imagine humanity without it, but that would be way to easy and not such a satisfactory answer. So we can go deeper in the many concepts that can be represented by the word darkness and come up with something a little more creative. Darkness can be found in humanity to make everything that is good, actually feel good. If life was a series of endless happy events, people would never appreciate when something great happened, because they just wouldn't have anything else to compare the feeling with, making it less intense and not as interesting. So you could say that humanity needs a balance, in order for us to understand the state of happiness there must be something that we can experience and see as the complete opposite of it, in order for us to understand what we want, we need to understand the alternatives and decide that we don't want them. To sum up, darkness is present in humanity, because not only the positive things, but also the negative are necessary for us to become who we are and feel alive.
