I Have a Dark Side

I think we all do. That negative side that discourages you, the feeling of self-loathing and regret that sometimes takes over. We need the dark part of ourselves to help appreciate the good and the light within. It's important to allow yourself to acknowledge that side, but to never linger there for long.

One shouldn't... that would be feeding the Beast. And the more you feed it...

@Damagedgoods: That I understand. I had mine caged for many many years. But then I realized... it seemed a far better judge of character than my nice side. (After all, it recognized any threat to me instantly-- since its wired for purely selfish means), so now I just keep it on a short leash, and let it speak to my gut instincts, or let it come out to play in appropriate places (where primal is a plus, such as the bedroom!). I feed the more violent tendencies by channeling those urges through art and storytelling.
