Placing expectations on other people, places and things instead of placing them on our inner characters is Cursing the Darkness. I spent years under achieving and looking at myself thru the lens of others instead of being the best I could be. I was Cursing the Darkness. I looked at what others were doing and achieving academically and lamented the head start they had in life while using this as an excuse for my fears and my sense of inferiority. I was Cursing the Darkness. I tried living according to way I thought other people saw me. I come from a community who live every day in America according to the way others see us. That is, people who are at best indifferent to our health and wellbeing. I see all this now as Cursing the Darkness.
