Has the dark shadow really disappeared?Or is it inside me, concealed, waiting for its chance to reappear?Like a clever thief hidden inside a house, breathing quietly, waiting until everyone's asleep. I have looked deep inside myself, trying to detect something that might be there. But just as our consciousness is a maze, so too is our body. Everywhere you turn there's darkness, and a blind spot. Everywhere you find silent hints, everywhere a surprise is waiting for you.
The quote reflects on the internal struggles we all face, questioning whether our personal shadows—symbolizing fears and unresolved issues—truly vanish or persist within us, lying in wait. The comparison to a thief highlights the insidious nature of these emotions, which can strike when we are least aware, concealing their presence even as we attempt to confront them.
