Alone in the dark can be both frightening, and enlightening. One can truly observe themselves, learn what causes the emotions they experience. In the light, amongst loved ones, the little boy tries to please everyone. He whines and complains, and doesn't take their advice. Maybe that was a good idea, considering the fact that he is content when left by himself. He can think somewhat clearly. He doesn't constantly deceive himself. He can have trust in his conscience, and defend his actions. When left in the dark, the young, naive boy can sit and say to himself "I am happy, and no matter what will happen, I will take responsibility for my own actions. I will trust in the path I follow, because at this present moment, its leading me toward bliss."
This boy is trying so hard to justify his actions by "living in the moment." Yet he still worries that that isn't the way he should be approaching life. Maybe he shouldn't thrust the gas pedal. Maybe he shouldn't look straight ahead while walking. Maybe the little boy is still very much afraid of falling down and scraping his knee. But he promised himself, he would give it a shot. He will trust his conscience, not his head nor his heart. This time around, the boy will fly without a destination, but with a path. He wont stray, but wont land either.
