throughout the history of mankind, we have built up a whole raft of superstitions about the night.
when we describe emotional states other than happiness/bliss/ecstasy these are described in the same terms as the night.
driving towards a city from the county side the ambient light creates a soft glow in the sky that is visible from a distance, almost as if we have such an aversion to the night that we turn the places where most of us live into a night light from a childs bedroom.
