darkness is delusional separation (ultimately hell) from... ahem...God..The All
it arises upon a sense of independence from all else
what is the point of all this phenomenal stuff?
perhaps it is to realize that there is no place like home
the more we sin (create suffering for ourselves and others) the greater the separation.
i wouldn't gloss over sin as somethinging (no spelling mistake) irrellevant
an excellent description of sinning is: missing the mark, or falling short
