I think, awareness about the presence of the light is also needed for the darkness of the ignorance to disappear. Unawareness about the presence of light can not dispel the darkness of ignorance.
I think that even in light there is darkness and that is the way it will always be. With that being said I do think that there are those who aren't willing to fight for their lives and things they love however I believe it to be a misconception as to what is right and wrong and how to live while being at peace within yourself.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
