The way I think it works is this. Light comes into the world and it's as if everyone and everything is seen in a new and penetrating way. Suddenly we are connected with each other and the source of divine love precisely
because this light comes as an invitation to grow in connectedness. Just as suddenly, however, we are also alienated because of everything about us that insists on remaining entrenched in isolation. This is the contrast
John is talking about. It is the contrast we, no doubt witness, every passing day.
