Never Provide It with a Kingdom

Darkness dwells within even the best of us, in the worst of us, darkness not only dwells, but reigns. Although occasionally providing darkness with a habitat, I have never provided it with a kingdom. 

Dean Koontz in Down in the Darkness from “Wilderness and Other Stories” 

I've never cared for hypocrites that claim they have no negativity, anger or darkness when they know they do. I think honesty about accepting the darkness inside but not letting it overwhelm is a good policy.
