The Darkest Hour is a phrase coined by British prime minister Winston Churchill to describe the period of World War II between the fall of France in 1940 and the Nazi invasion of Russia in 1941, when the British Commonwealth stood alone. It is particularly used for the time when the UK was under threat of invasion after Dunkirk, before victory in the Battle of Britain. The darkest moment is usually considered to have been 10 May 1941, when over 1,500 civilians died in London alone.
Although the British Commonwealth was alone fighting the Germans during the period, it was not the only major force fighting the Axis. China had been engaging the Japanese since 1937, after the Japanese launched an all-out invasion.

Because bright light represents energy and positivity where you can see and are aware of hope. Darkness represents negativity and solitude where you cant see anything, not even yourself.
If you are experiencing your darkest hour..try meditating, visualising a bright light burning through your body, drawing up positive energies from the ground. Takes practise.......but hope you get to the end of the tunnel soon.

St John of the Cross talked about the (three) Dark Night (s) of the soul. These referred to when a person was at their lowest spiritual web. It is more than likely that Churchill used this reference in one of his many great speeches.

because you feel so low. Chin up, it can' t get worse. Now look forward. There is a good reason for the past, it will come to light when you are happy again.

Probably because they thought the electric authority somehow misunderstood and cut the power to your home.
It was that or they though you had finally been knackered one way or the other.

Because they can't see the start from the finish and hope.

They are remembering their period when they had to cope with and would hope never to go through that again.

Because they haven't been paying their electricity bills. Not good.
