Dear Jeyamohan,
You always lead the way toward hope. You often present an optimistic view. This positive attitude draws so many people to you. But is this approach close to the truth? Is it not an illusion? Isn’t the truth what the writer has to convey?

Dear Namely,
Well, let’s assume darkness is true. Pessimism that says nothing makes sense is the right way of thinking. What are you going to do? Are you planning to surrender your life and transform into a “sanyasi”? Do you sit as a yogi without standing anywhere, without any relation, without any possessions, without doing anything?
If so, then accept that fact. Adopt that mindset. There are various practices in India that can help achieve this mindset. The yogi knows that there is a ‘darkness’. It is called ‘yogic darkness’. Complete meaninglessness. Absolute emptiness. ‘Mahasunya’. They also sense a light emanating from it. There are ways to get there. Follow that path.
Furthermore, if you are going to be here in everyday life, why do you have that mentality? Living in this world with bitterness and hate? To waste life like that? Why else does that mindset help to exclude relationships and confuse actions?
If you are going to live here, you must create the necessary ‘truths’ for it. All truths in everyday life are ‘constructed truths’. We call them common truths. Samanya Satya. We all live ‘in’ them. Absolute truth is special truth, i.e., Visesha Satya. Only complete yogis can live in it. They should also come to this world to perform daily tasks.
If you are not a yogi and lack the mindset and proper training to become one, create your own common truths that fit your worldly context. Live in those truths.
What you are doing right now is simply hypocrisy. This behavior is typical of pseudo-intellectuals. They need worldliness, but they also present themselves as living in bigger realities.
