Fear and Love; what does it mean to be in the darkness: A spiritual question for D&D

Ok, I just took a break from studying for a midterm to have a smoke and watch some family guy, and one of the things the wife louis said in the show got me thinking:
What she said was: "she's spiraling out of control!" and i started thinking about how we use the shape/symbol of a spiral to explain where we are in life - spiraling up or down (although i never hear people use the term spiraling up which is weird. we don't even really have words for going up - success? evolving? anyways..)
So I got to thinking how we can spiral up or down, and those who have spiraled down are said to be "in the darkness". Well, why are they in the darkness? If you consider light is also synonymous with love. those in the darkness are usually afraid - what are they afraid of? I propose that instead of loving their fear, they fear their love!
Would that mean they love their fear? That would mean that those in the darkness are people who fear their love because they love their fear.
Are fear and love the same thing, like two ends of the same pole?

It is your choosing, preferring to be comfortable rather than to open up to the good/bad of reality to be in the darkness (ignorance). And so you love your own fear. You ARE the fear.
