Well the answer is no. This blog isn't about Dexter Morgan, our favorite serial-killer (at least he's killed most of other tv serials we used to watch of late).
This post is actually about the dark passenger that we all have. Yes, you heard me right, I did say that we all have one.
Your favorite school teacher, your friendly neighbourhood ice-cream man, your parents...
They all have a secret someone within them, who doesn't necessarily make them sinister enough to go around killing people and dumping them at sea, but nevertheless, they all have a little something that occasionally passes through them that, if revealed, would shock all of us.
Let me be clear that I am not talking about the skeletons in one's closet...
I shall concede that all of us do not have skeletons in our closets. Those of us that have always lived by the rules and do not have an act of the past that shall haunt them unless covered up for eternity, are certainly the ones that can honestly open their closets to anyone and show that no skeletons tumble out.
Coming back to the main point, the dark passenger is someone or something that resides within you, with or without your consent or desire. The dark passenger manifests its effects periodically, and this may or may not lead to the creation of skeletons to be hid in your closets... Most of the time it does... Sigh...
Dexter's dark passenger manifests into murders (killings, if I wish to be politically correct for his ardent fans). These murders are skeletons in Dexter's closet (or at the bottom of the sea to be literally correct). The skeletons can be dealt with but the point here is that the dark passenger passes temporarily, only to formulate an encore in the days to come...
So what does your dark passenger do?
Don't answer that... Not to me, not to your friends... And I daresay, not to yourself either...
Think about it, dwell deep within and think of that remote corner, deep in the abyss that is your persona. Your dark, dark secret. Hidden inside you. Securely guarded from everyone else. You are an individual - a separate entity in this world - you are an islet in a sea of several other distinct islets that represent the other people in your life ...
Only you know your islet to its deepest extremity. No one else does. Thank god they don't. If they knew you fully, well, I need not go further...
How many of us can honestly say that we have absolutely no secret that would stun several people that we associate with on a daily basis?
My real driving force behind this post is to suggest to my readers to come into terms of acceptance with their dark passengers. Do not try to eradicate the passenger, do not try to deny their existence... Yes, try to control the dark one and perhaps take measures to do some damage control...

Captivating! :) Everyone has a dark side, the yin (/yang) balancer! Really enjoyed this.
