There is either light or no light, but illumination and darkness are results of the presence and absence of light, darkness has no inherent nature. It is a subtle distinction. But it makes a fundamental difference: In balanced opposites opting for one to the exclusion of the other brings imbalance. But one does not err in aiming to be more clear. You do not fall back into ignorance. You do however rise to a new level and will have to refine clarity further.
This is how logic wants to see things One excludes another. Good is an absence of evil, for instance.

Some however suggest that we can go beyond any dualities, beyond good and evil, light and darkness, and so on...
