We associate white with purity, goodness and rightness. White is the symbol of positive and protective energy. We dress heroes and heroines in white. White represents wholeness of spirit. We associate God, God's messengers and Heaven with white. We picture Angels in robes of white. We associate black with evil. We dress villains in black. Black is the symbol of destruction. When catastrophe strikes, we call it a black day. Black represents despair, anger and rage, which are absences of love, compassion and forgiveness. We say that a person who feels these things is in a black mood. We say the "Dark Ages" were a time when the "light of reason" was absent. We call the suffering of a splintered psyche, a psyche without radiance, the "dark night of the soul." We call the Devil, the Prince of Darkness, and we think of Hell as a place where the Light of God does not reach. Is the perception of white as an integration, or a completion, and black as an absence, therefore, limited in accuracy or applicability to the physical phenomena of white light and blackness? No, language, mythology, religious and science each recognize white, a reflection of integration, or wholeness, or completion, and black, a reflection of the absence of this.
