"The brighter the light shines, the larger the shadow grows". See to me it means the stronger good or truth grows the evil or darkness to grows with it.

To me, it doesn't indicate good and evil. From my observations of people, the brighter their star shines, the darker their dark side can be...proportionately.
For instance, I knew a person who was extremely intelligent and had nearly a photographic memory. He also was a very people oriented person and utilized those skills in his career. However, when he got off track, crashed and burned it was in proportion to how amazing he had been before the crash. At the end it came out that he had been taking from the people he was helping, and had started living a "secret" life that was so opposite his career life that everyone was dumbfounded. The thing is, the people he had taken from still said they had gotten so much good from the relationship that they'd still take him out to lunch...and pay for it.

It is more about the interdependence of objects and phenomenon. Observe a tree over the course of a day. When the sun light is low, the shadow cast by the tree is minimal. As the sun peaks, the shadow that is cast is much larger.
The tree needs the sun to cast a shadow. The sun needs the object of a tree for the sun to be interrupted and leaving the tree's shadown.

Is it not,'Brighter the light, darker the shadow'?
Shadow being absence of light, does not change. However, a bright light shows it up for what it is. Likewise, unadulterated good shows up evil clearly.

Very wise statement.
Yes, there is always balance -- you cannot avoid it.
If you are an optimist (and reading Voltaire's Candide should cure you of this idiocy) you might like the saying:
"And the Candle said to the Darkness, 'I beg to differ'".

you got it all wrong. this saying is just a play on words that's why it's f@cking your mind. you should always see the world as an ocean of darkness and the power of good is the one beacon constantly burning in the middle of it. darkness has always been the more overwhelming power in this physical universe. the light is just there to guide us.

This verse shows the importance of relativity....Every event in life is relative to another....Time for instance. Time means nothing unless you juxtapose one event to another. This is highlighted by this verse...."the stronger the light , the stronger the shadow".
Sorry Einstein but this is my new theory of relativity............

Try to imagine darkness without light.
Now, try to imagine light without darkness.
Which 1 is easier?
For me darkness is easier cos i have seen complete darkness before but never complete light.
So its not that balanced after all is it?

evil and darkness are not the shadows of good and truth ...
