Inspired by "On Art and life - John Ruskin"

Isn't it ironic that darkness, which is considered to be exotic is but a monotony. A monotony inspired by the absence of light. There are no varying shades of darkness, there are only varying shades of light. That which is considered to be exotic depends on the mundane, light. The mundane has variety and the exotic, a dull monotony.

But then again, isn't that true of everything? Because to consider something exotic, there needs to be a standard to compare it with, a standard that it has to exceed to then be deemed as exotic. And the minimum threshold of that standard would be monotony. Once monotony is absent, variety is present and what that is different is exotic.

But its ironic yet again. Because light is too common and darkness, not.
