Dark light
In the middle of the night, when you're alone with your thoughts, are they cloudy or clear? Things always seem magnified in the dark...noises, movements, thoughts.
So, when you're thinking, reflecting or analysing in the darkness, is that when there's real clarity, or does clarity come with the morning light and you can see the world around you?
When there is a discrepancy between your night thoughts and your day thoughts, which holds more weight? Does rational thought suspend when the lights go out and give way to compounded emotion? Does daytime logic twist and distort the clear night thought?
When there is justification for both, how do you know which is the more true of the two? Or are they the same, just from a different perspective?

Angel and Devil. The answer is somewhere inbetween...
Oh, tricky... I don't guess there's really anyway to actually know because then you'd always know exactly how to handle the situations you're mulling over. Some of the bravest/stupidest things I've ever done have been a result of night time thinking... some of them I sometimes regret some of them I would never take back. But all of them are the most pure version of "me" and how I would handle things. Decisions made during daylight hours are typically the result of conversations with friends/family and not completely true to exactly what I WANT to do and more what I know I SHOULD do.
Well, that's about as clear as mud, isn't it! I'll probably be able to answer this better at about 2 o'clock this morning ;)
I'm too pregnant to delve into any conversation that requires thought right now. I hope you figure it out though!

Wow.
I was too busy enjoying the questions to look for the answers.
VERY well written.
