I very much agree with the concept but I find it like everything it's not fully formed and is more a general statement of a smaller reality.
Because what is true darkness in a person?
A place?
What is one person's darkness might be salvation to another suffering in a different way (if you want to perceive humanity in its more dark and serial killer kinda ways)
It's early and your all over here inspiring me to deep introspective thoughts.

That book is called
Dark religion
These are the times that try men’s souls. (Thomas Paine, December 1776) We live in an era of extremism in political discourse, religious life, the news cycle, and our personal lives. For centuries under the banner of God, human societies amassed countless rounds of ethnic cleansing, deaths, and untold human suffering. We are left wondering how it is that the religious impulse, in which deep calls to deep, is so frequently perverted into a war cry that justifies murder, torture, rape, and other atrocities. Furthermore, despite breathtaking scientific advances in the past few centuries, we have more reason than ever to be concerned that our destructive capacity might cause the extinction of our species and multitudes of other species.
Those might be the dark places?

I was also thinking along the lines of how to someone with darker urges or what society deems darker or evil, how our verison of justice or morals might be twistedly painful for them.
To live in a world that literally was built to work against you.
And see it all so differently and be completely seperate.
My mind thinks of weird things.
