I was thinking about this the other day -- Let's say you're in your house at night in a lighted bedroom with you door closed. Now let's also say the hallway is dark - there's no light. You're really thirsty so you get up to get a glass of water from the kitchen. As you open the door, let me ask you this question - does the darkness rush into the lighted room? Or does the light rush out? How many times out of a million?
You're right - Every time without exception!
Now let me ask you this question - if you wanted all the darkness out of your entire house - could you go around to all the corners and haul it away? Or does it make more sense to turn on the light?
Right again, in fact turning on the light is the ONLY way to have no darkness - by definition darkness is a LACK of light. It cannot exist on it's own, we only talk about darkness when there is no light.
Light is the entity that can be measured, darkness is not an entity. It has no properties. You cannot measure the amount of darkness present - it does not exist, it's simply the ABSENCE of light.
