Although Conrad and Freud have valid
explanations for their theories on darkness, the ill-fated engagements of Adam
Lanza prove them wrong. Humans, whether they admit it or not, are self aware of
what Freud believes to be the id. Clearly, the degree of one’s darkness varies,
yet we know what our inner flaws are, and we desire to confine these flaws from
the judgment of society. The decision to hide our darkness, as demonstrated by
the actions of Lanza, can ultimately be more harmful to us than if we release
our darkness in a healthy environment. We must do this, mainly through art.
Whether it is painting, filming, writing, or singing, we must embrace our
darkness in order to have a beneficial society.
