It is significant that not only is night the time when human crime and passion are at their maximum but it is also the time when worrying thoughts are at their blackest. The day with its brightness has ever been a symbol of spirituality, the night with its darkness a symbol of materiality. For he who has found his own spirit, finds peace and is freed from fear, and consequently from its child--worry--too.
