You walk down a long, dark corridor. You look around at your, now, unfamiliar surroundings. You ask yourself;

"Why am I here? How did I get here?"

only to be treated by the bitter sting of the cold silence. You try to find your way, only to collide into the walls. You stand there wondering how you will escape this seemingly hopeless world; this...horrible, horrible place with which you find yourself trapped in.

Then....you see a light. A light at the end of the tunnel, if you will. Well, you run towards it, hoping to find some peace and solace. When you being to approach the darkness, the light suddenly turns off; leaving you trapped in this inky blackness yet again. You continue looking around for some faint hope that maybe some more light shall return.

Suddenly, it does. More light. You begin to run. You hear your feet pound the ground as you mercilessly run across it; needing to get to the light this time. You arrive this time without fail. You try to pass through the light, only to be met with an invisible barrier. You cannot pass.

You finally realise...this dark place is your own mind. The barrier...simply Doubt. You can never achieve a happy life; this..."light" so long as this barrier remains strong. However, as an inquiry as to how to remove the barrier; how to find its key, you ask yourself:

"How do you find something in complete and utter darkness?"
