There are other places.

Hint: There are an infinite number of other points where this is possible. They all lie on the same line of latitude.

it will be the brightest and the darkest
is the heaviest and eats the lightest
it is at the beginning at its end
without it life would not exist
yet life cannot exist with it

Some shall know me as fear
Some shall know me as pain
Some shall know me as death

But what is my real name?

Some might call me sin, but it is not my given name.

Some shall know me as justice
some shall know me as relief
