If you know something about astronomy, you know that there is no \u201cdark side of the Moon\u201d. Instead, the Moon\u2019s rate of rotation is the same as the rate it completes one orbit with the Earth; as a result we constantly see only one side of the moon. Then we all know what Moon phases are (you know, new moon vs full moon); the Sun doesn\u2019t shine on one side of the Moon only, so there\u2019s no bright\/dark side of the Moon. The other side that cannot be seen on Earth is called the far side of the Moon.<\/p>\n

I believe there\u2019s no dark side of a person either.<\/p>\n

Humans are a social animal. It gives us survival advantage when we stay in a group, so we try everything to please others in order to do so. Sometimes, that means showing the best of ourselves when we face the mass. Does that mean the side of ourselves others cannot see is necessarily evil? No. There\u2019s no Soviet nuclear base on the far side of the Moon. Our hidden personalities may just be some unfulfilled desire waiting to be materialized at the right moment. It doesn\u2019t necessarily cause harm. Think about this: the far side of the Moon doesn\u2019t face Earth but the vast cosmos instead. Imagine the beautiful possibilities.<\/p>\n
