Maybe what we fear is not "darkness."..But it is to live with "myself."

Some people are afraid of the dark...Because there was no spotlight in the darkness, no sight, no applause, no external light to guide them, so many people started talking and didn't know how to stand up.

But in fact...Darkness is not that scary, it never chases anyone, it just serves to quietly embrace us and lower the sound of the outside world so that we can hear the loud voice inside of ourselves.

If the world is too noisy today, try to learn to live in darkness through these ideas.

👁️ Where there is no light...Is where we see ourselves the most clearly.

Guards in the lights and crowds, we often had to perform, wear masks, or run for shadows to hide our weaknesses, but in the darkness...There is no shadow for us to hide, and no one allows us to show it anymore, it is the only area where we can face the truth, see the essence and feelings of ourselves as honestly as possible, without caring about anyone's eyes.

🎵. Afraid of silence...Because it's "too loud."

Have you ever noticed? Many people leave the light on, leave the music loud, drown out, or run into the crowd to escape the void, because they are afraid to find "their own heart," afraid of the questions inside that often ring when everything is quiet, but those who are really awake know that they can sit still in the void, because they know that not every darkness will hurt, and as long as we do not run away, darkness is the best rest of our hearts.

🌌 Without the night...How do we know how beautiful the stars are?

If life were constantly sunny, we would never see the beauty of the twinkling light from the stars in the sky, and if our lives had never experienced silence, we would not have heard our hearts; darkness is not the enemy, but it is the other side of life, even if the outside world had extinguished the fire, or how dark the circumstances around us were, as long as our hearts remained silent and understood, true light would have glowed from the inside...And it's brighter than anything.

In the end, the night was not meant to drive anyone away...It just serves to "lower the sound of the world" to give you the opportunity to hear what's loud inside.

If you still feel afraid of the dark today...Maybe it's not because the darkness is scary.

But it's probably because we "never take enough breaks to get to know ourselves."

Don't run away at night and don't be afraid of emptiness, just be the quietest version of yourself and let your heart rest.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว ผมเองเคยกลัวความมืดและความเงียบมาก เพราะเหมือนต้องเผชิญกับเสียงคำถามในใจที่ไม่มีวันหยุด หากลองเปิดไฟ เปิดเสียงให้ดัง ก็เป็นการหนีตัวเองที่แท้จริง แต่เมื่อเริ่มทดลองนั่งนิ่ง ๆ ในความมืดโดยไม่หนี ไม่เปิดไฟหรือเสียงใด ๆ พบว่าเสียงภายในใจค่อย ๆ ชัดขึ้น เป็นเวลาที่เราสามารถฟังตัวเองอย่างตรงไปตรงมา ในความมืดที่ไม่มีใครเห็น ไม่มีใครตัดสิน ใจเราจะได้พัก ไม่ต้องแสดงหรือปลอมเป็นคนอื่น บางครั้งความกลัวที่แท้จริงไม่ใช่ความมืดภายนอก แต่เป็นความว่างเปล่าภายในที่เราไม่กล้าเจอ แต่หากกล้าอยู่กับความว่างนั้น จะเห็นว่ามันเป็นพื้นที่ปลอดภัย ที่ใจเราได้ซ่อนและฟื้นฟูตัวเอง เหมือนกับตอนกลางคืนที่ให้ดาวระยิบระยับเปล่งประกาย ความมืดมีคุณค่าในตัวมันเอง เป็นเวลาที่เราสามารถซื่อสัตย์กับตัวเองที่สุด ผมอยากแนะนำให้ลองใช้เวลาหลายนาทีหรือชั่วโมงในความมืดนั้นโดยไม่มีสิ่งรบกวน จะดีขึ้นเรื่อย ๆ เมื่อเราฝึกนิ่งและหยุดวิ่งหนีความรู้สึกภายใน จนในที่สุดแสงสว่างที่แท้จริงจากใจจะเปล่งประกายออกมาอย่างสว่างไสวกว่าทุกแสงภายนอก
