    Meh, just your typical boring "ignorance is a fog/darkness and knowledge is the light that shines through the fog/illuminates the darkness" analogy.
Providing the fog/darkness is willing to let the light in. I need a metaphor for ignorance in which the darkness is active not passive and light not as powerful as we wish it was.

mk's moldy ignorance that looks like fire has some of that quality.
