You find no wrong in being in the dark and in fact, your surrounding becomes part of who you are. There is a sense of belonging and comfort in the familiarity of the darkness. There is no room for desire because the presence of the Other, light, is omitted. The self is contented. Now, imagine a ray of white light illuminating the previously black hole.
