Servility Again, Light

Just on that last piece (https://wwwinabstentia-andrewk.blogspot.com/2022/01/in-defence-of-servility.html) about how servility defends itself through wilful ignorance, the following from the Gospel of John:

The light came into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For all who do evil hate the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed. But those who do what is true come to the light …

And so, as a logical continuation of this, those who “innocently” side with evil also protect themselves from the knowledge of this exposing light, as it is ultimately an attack on them also. They voluntarily remain in darkness so as to feel comfortable and justified in their remaining with “the world.”
