Light that we see, along with light energy that we do not see - x-rays, gamma rays, radio waves etc, is a rare thing in the universe.
"...in recent decades, researchers have become increasingly convinced that there is a vast amount of material in the universe that does not glow at all. This mysterious "dark matter" is believed by most scientists to be the most common stuff in the universe, perhaps making up 90 percent or more of the total mass." source
Its something to think about. Light energy is present in 10% of the stuff that makes up the universe, visible light is one part of that 10%.
Light is a rarity, yet we think its all around. The majority of the universe is thought to be made of dark matter.
From the symbolic or life affirming point of view, we usually want to move towards a more illuminated understanding, We're supposed to throw some light on the matter or the problem or the topic.
When something is rare, we usually appreciate it more, because we understand that there's not really that much of it to go around.

Maybe, thats whats wrong with BV$H , he's made of almost 100% dark matter.
I once read were Bush was regarded as a negative positive politician. In this respect he is negative and disinterested in policy, and positive about campaigning and winning elections.
The best politicians are positive negatives - positive and interested in policy, and least interested in campaigning and elections.
But as we know, America is about work and winning. So people see a winner and think that it also represents content and quality.
