Man oft is afraid of darkling night,
But it's night that lets him deep insight,
Opens up a rich treasure,
Shows a glimpse of self measure,
In dark does man see end of his blight.
Dark seeks depths no light can
To introspecting man,
Who, in day light can reach hoary height.

Darkness outside can be ignored but darkness inside is the end of brightness!
Yes, even darkness has its use. It enables one to be in touch with atman and have an insight. Thank you, Sekharan Pookkat.
