Wow, this is a really great way to look at it.
I'm reminded of Jesus answer to the question immediately following the famous John 3:16 verse:
"This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God."
The light can be bright, especially when you are used to the dark...
