No. It is not being compared to anything, at least in your question.
Yes, darkness can be used as a metaphor to represent fear, uncertainty, or negativity in our lives. It can symbolize challenges, struggles, or obstacles that we need to overcome.
It means that who ever made this metaphor is a Huge Trolling Noob
"Hope is a light at the end of the tunnel, guiding us through the darkness and uncertainty towards a brighter future."
If it is possible for us to be with our massive body then we feel very much heavy and all around we see illuminance. That is, no darkness any where.

I believe you are referring to the salad bowl metaphor. This metaphor is used to describe the US quite a bit. Rather than being a melting pot, where all peoples of all backgrounds 'melt together' and assimilate, the US is now more often referred to as a salad bowl where everyone retains their culture, language, background, etc. but yet everyone is together much in the way a salad is.

When we switch on the light, we overcome darkness and we see what is available around us. Enlightenment is switching on the light within. How do you switch on the light within? How can you get enlightenment? It is by overcoming the darkness of ignorance. We are all enveloped in ignorance, the darkness. As long as there is darkness of ignorance, there can be no enlightenment. What should we do? Drop our ignorance. How do you drop ignorance? By realizing the truth. When we realize the truth and we overcome our ignorance, we reach that state of realization which is enlightenment. Once we are enlightened then we can see what we are within, we realize the truth, just as we overcome all the myths we have been taught.
Sentinels of Hope and symbols of comfort. While all is storming the lighthouse remains steadfast to guide us safely ashore
