I think, yeah, like most people do when they hear the word #dark

Lotus btw, is a venerated symbol in ancient Buddhism and Hinduism, as it grows in the mud, but emerges pure and untainted, and you'll see them in all Buddhist and Hindu art and way of life whether Japanese, Tibetan, Indian, Korean, etc. The palms of the hands joining together when someone says NAMASTE is the shape of a lotus, which roughly means, my purity to yours, but people sometimes just say namaste without any clue as to the real meaning of the lotus greeting

Also, the Buddha went to hell to help his mother attain enlightenment. Going dark to save souls is an extreme but noble path

That's my kind of darkness

I can swim in the mud but nobody knows what my true intentions are

Darkness btw, is an integral part of light. No light can exist without the the base, which is darkness
