The Darkness

When your mind wanders into the dark, what do you think about. What does this say about you as a person, or does it really not matter at all what you think about in dark times. How does your mind find its way into the darkness, does it wander there on its own? Or does it find its path there after something bad or sad has happened. What are we capable in the darkness of our minds. And does even thinking about this prove anything. Is this sort of introspection a good thing or is it damaging. I wish I knew the answer to this and many other questions, but as always I still simply hunt for answers.
