Light pollution and our bond to universe?

Back in the very old days our ancestors used sit in circles around fire telling stories and Contemplating at the mighty universe .It was much brighter and beautiful back then for the naked eyes .There was a tight connection between us and the universe that we had to find some explanation for , which we did through inventing mythologies and gods to make sense for this shear beauty and complexity.

On the left picture , on the absence of light pollution from us humans .What is mainly lightning  us ! is sky from above thus clouds appears black .
On the right picture there just too much lightning from us causing light pollution overcoming natural light from sky causing clouds to reflect back the light to us appearing white .
