" Most of the darkness in this world is due to truth being out of favor,' Zadok said. 'And folks being scared to death to stand up, hold up The Light, and speak the truth about the Lord for fear they'll be out of favor too. So we betray The Light for safety's sake. Hide the fire inside a clay pot. Prefer the darkness. The blindness. Because it's safer. You don't get noticed that way. The Light shines again when someone brave - it only takes one - stands up and says, "Here it is! Here's the truth! "
