Darkness has the power to strip away all pretenses and outer layers, revealing the essence of who we truly are. Just like how the night sky, shrouded in darkness, becomes a canvas for stars to shine brilliantly, our own struggles can bring forth our most profound strength and resilience. In the novel "A Darkness More Than Night" by Michael Connelly, the quote "The greatest battles are often fought within ourselves" holds a profound truth. Harry Bosch is up to his neck in a case that has transfixed all of celebrity-mad Los Angeles: a movie director is charged with murdering an actress during sex, and then staging her death to make it look like a suicide.

With watertight evidence stacked against him, Haller will need every trick in the book to prove he was framed.It suggests that evil can manifest itself in the most unexpected and deceptive ways, even disguising itself as innocence.

This suggests that one cannot always rely on traditional methods or adhere to conventional notions of right and wrong when seeking the truth. Heading home after winning his latest case, Defence Attorney Mickey Haller is pulled over by the police. The victim was a scuzzball who six years earlier had been arrested by Harry Bosch for murder but then released uncharged by the DA's office. As McEvoy investigates he makes a shocking discovery that connects the crime to other mysterious deaths across the country.This quote suggests that when we succumb to our weaknesses or make rash choices, we risk altering the course of our lives in ways we may come to regret for a lifetime. It is through the discomfort of confronting our darkest parts that we can emerge stronger, more self-aware, and ultimately find the path to true healing. Light has come into the world, and made evident and established the awful fact that men loved (aorist, denoting a defined characteristic) the darkness ( σκότος, used here and 1 John 1:6 for absolute darkness, the complete contradictory of the light), rather than the light. The first person singular present indicative; a prolonged form of a primary and defective verb; I exist. This is the judgment: The Light has come into the world and the children of men loved the darkness more than The Light, because their works were evil.
