Why is there darkness in humanity?

I believe that humanity is all about balance. In humanity there will always be both good and evil, happy and sad, positive and negative. There is darkness in humanity because, only if there is darkness, can there be light. I can see how some people would wish for there to be no darkness in the world, and for there to always be light and joy and happiness. If there was no darkness though, humanity would have no light either. Humanity would be unchanging, always in a neutral state, neither light nor dark. Light cannot exist without darkness.
We must experience darkness in order to appreciate the light in humanity. If it were light all the time, we wouldn't even realize it. Every day would be the same, and so that would become neutral.
The only way that we know light is a good thing, is because we can compare it to darkness. Without darkness, we wouldn't even know what light, happiness, or positivity is.
