This is our natural state. We're in the darkness, and there's nothing that terrifies us more than the appearance of light. But Jesus is introduced as the light of the world in the very first chapter of this gospel, and this light shines into the darkness. It shines into people who are groveling in pain, who are perishing in their sin, who love the darkness because their deeds are evil.
