Now, for a while now, I've always believed that an element is simply a tool, but with it's own natural with it's good and bad sides. Kh seems to show this, though not on Light's bad side as of yet. Now, let's review here of the nature of each element.
Light and Darkness logically aren't really competitors as people may think. They really seem to act as siblings, twins you may say. They are very complementary. Darkness is where Light isn’t and vise-versa. They can outshine or overshadow one another. But in the end, they end up switching spots for each other, they are equals. Mickey had also noted that the world is made of Darkness and Light and that they cannot be separate.
Now do not be mislead. Good and Evil are not siblings, they are competitors. You cannot use both, but you can be inbetween. But you’ll more or less end up of one side, even by a little bit. So, why has it been that all these years that Darkness has been seen as an evil thing? Well, it comes from the fear of the unknown. What man does not know, he fears and labels it.
Nothingness is the absence of both. However, it too is not of any nature.
Darkness: Darkness on it’s bad side contains many unpleasant things. Heartless may be formed from what a person has hide from himself or others. These may include hate, anger, a deceptive personality, etc. Which would logically be what makes a Heartless and it’s element. Sin that someone has hidden from others and lies.
However, this does not mean that Darkness doesn’t have another nature to it. Riku first experience Darkness and turn into an antagonist. However, after the incident with Xehanort’s heartless he had become lost. The nature of Darkness allowed him to become lost further, only to for him to find himself. To know who he is, what he wants and why he was the way he was before.
He did Blind fold himself, after all. To hide the truth from himself. Yet, his blindness allowed him to look past what he could before and look deeper into himself. He was redeemed and used the power of Darkness for good.
Light: We all know of the nature of Light. That it has the ability to reveal and show things that Darkness could not. However, although not shown in KH as of yet, too much Light can blind you. Light on it’s bad side shows a Judgmental nature, a nature of doing wrong and thinking you’re right and the God scenerio. Take Light Yagami for example (Though he did not use light as an element, he pretty much personified it). The means were good, but they did not justify the ends. He proclaimed himself as a God, doing wrong for a right result.
I’m kinda tired right now, so if you have any other examples, please post them.
Nothingness: The nature of Nothing is truly a bizarre one. It is empty, yet it holds within itself limitless potential. Like how someone can start out with no money and gain a large amount or a small amount. Another thing about Nothing is that it is a concept of self discovery.
Nobodies had wanted Kingdom Hearts to regain their lost hearts so that they could feel emotion again. Which brings me to another thought about the nature of nothing. Alternate forms of media (Like the CoM manga) state that they do have hearts, but they are too uncertain to realize it themselves. Which leans more so on the concept of self discovery. Nothing is also empty, but it is something. No matter how you look at it, you are stating Nothing as a noun. Which could mean that Nothing is something (It's a paradox, but not an oxymoron), but it doesn't seem to realize it itself.
Nothing could be seen as more neutral as the others, but again they had good means, but the ends were not justifiable. The natuel of Nothing is that is that even as empty as it is, it seeks to be full of something (again, the concept of self discovery applies here).
Feel free to agree or disagree if you like. ^_^b
