The "Dark Side of the Moon"


As I remember seeing the full moon, I also remember that there are part of the moon that is unseen to me. That's what I call "the dark side of the moon". We can easily see "the bright side of the moon", but no one can see the other side. But we all know that it's there, and we oftentimes take it for granted just as it is.

That makes me think that every people also have their "dark side" and what all other people see of them is just their "bright side". Sometimes, people also change, just like the moon. And when they do that, mostly, other people will think that they're strange. Which for me is not, because it's just their other side that is never or rarely can be seen. And sometimes, that person also don't realize it even though it will still be there.

People often think that they're in stress, while I would say is just that their subconscious is just being tired of showing their "bright side" all the time. So when they become moody, I would definitely laugh it off. That's exactly what I do... Maybe you think that this topic is... just a rambling, but that's the point. I'm just expressing my thought, my dark side, that I already accepted. I was a grumpy, angry, and lots of things before when I meet my friends that know me for who I am. But now, I reduce that to a minimum size because I accept myself, my thought, my insecurities, and every negative thing that I know I have.

Sometimes, people are just needed to be convinced of the "dark side" that they have, because they know that they have it, but they just don't wanna admit it. They just denying it and that's what makes their "mentality" decay. Their inner peace become so disturbed and in one time, they will just 'snap'. I always encourage my friends to take a hold and accept their inner side, because that's exactly what I do. And that makes me see the world in a different perspective, a different frame of thought.

Accepting that the moon has a "dark side" means that you admit that the moon is a ball shaped, and not just a round thing floating on the sky above. It means that accepting "the dark side of oneself" also knowing that you are "whole". If not, then you won't be balanced at all and it will be just a facade. Admit one's wrong, weaknesses, confusion, are several ways to be a truly whole person.  It's called being human.
