Light is the medium for every illusion. Darkness can hide you, protect you those looking for you to further some nefarious purpose. It can be a shield. Light simply reveals. It shows you what looks like a delicious apple, but not that it might be rotten within.

Slick movie action heroes killing off hundreds of henchmen like in The Matrix are more attractive than some trailer-trash crack-whore killing dozens of johns at the interstate highway rest-stops.
