Kabbalistic philosophy:
"The mandate of the whole of Creation is stated almost immediately. They translate it as 'Let there be light'. Instead, read, 'It should become Light'.
Meaning that all the world --even the darkness-- should become a source of light and wisdom. All the world's problems stem from light being withheld. Our job then, is to correct this. Wherever we find light, we must rip away its casings, exposing it to all, letting it shine forth to the darkest ends of the earth. When light pushes away the darkness, eventually another darkness shall come. When the darkness itself is transformed into light, it is a light that no darkness can oppose."
