A Writer Looking to Change the World

   I refer to myself as the world's most powerful Dreamer. Somewhat facetiously, but also as something of a jab against other people who, in my eyes, aren't trying to Dream nearly as much as they should be. For instance, I keep seeing people refer to themselves as servants of light. Why not just believe that you're the light itself, sent to extinguish the darkness? It's really easy to imagine, and fills you with a much stronger sense of power than just pretending to believe that light is blessing you. On the subject of light versus darkness, I don't think of darkness as being the same as evil. I think of darkness as being the substance of our world, the thing that gives it's laws and beliefs form. Darkness isn't just the absence of light after all, it's the matter that makes up our world and shows us that we live in a world bounded and protected from the Infinite. Without darkness, we'd live in a void of light, with nothing delineating what's real from what isn't real. But all that's real isn't good, and being bound by physics means that we cling to darkness even when things no longer make sense and we can't ignore that our world isn't real anymore. It takes strength to embrace the light, to admit that our world isn't real just because we instinctively think that it is, but that strength isn't inherently good either. We don't truly reckon with this, but a powerful source of light could undo the Universe itself, exposing us to the Infinite in its truest form. We aren't that powerful yet, but someday we will be. We need to remember that, or else our world will be ripped apart.
