Nope. I say otherwise because despite experiencing plenty of trouble this is what I've seen.

Yes, things feel pretty grim in the world right now. Yes, people are very focused on the darkness of the world, and if they aren't now just wait because someone will point it out to them.

Despite that there is still light in the world. You can see it more easily on the 1x1 level, with people going out of their way to care for others. People you don't really have giving to those who have even less.

Darkness isn't a force, after all: it's just the absence of light.

Are you sure? From a perspective it appears darkness is drinking away the light to light’s last embers.
