any comments on how the light affects our life??(moral lessons)?

Answer 1

Darkness or dark places have always been considered somewhat dangerous, or something to be cautious about. Perhaps that comes from our "Geiko Caveman" days when finding suitable shelter many times meant a cave.

The problem is, natural light can only penetrate so far into the cave. After that, it's pitch black and WHO KNOWS what kind of animal has already made the cave it's home.

Consequently, we still fear the dark. Think of all the stories written about vampires avoiding light, creepy people skulking about in the dark, crimes taking place in the dark, and of course, Jack the Ripper who only came out to do his dirty work at night.

You would think we would have gotten over that with all of our electronic gizmos, but we haven't.

Light, on the other hand signifies security, knowledge, "enlightenment," religious awakenings, and much less fear of what is around the next corner.

There's a line from "Gladiator" when the main character, Maximus, is asked by the Emporer Marcus Aurelius: "What is Rome, Maximus?"

His reply is something to the effect of: "I've seen much of the known world. It is dark and uncivilized. Rome is the light." (Meaning, a place where there is a written language, a functioning government, and knowledge. There was order to the chaos of the "dark world" of the barbarians.) The Romans labeled any group of people who lacked a written language as "barbarians."

As to moral lessons, I suppose one could draw the conclusion that "living in the light" is preferable and looked upon as being honest and open, as opposed to those who seek the dark, hidden places which connote secrecy.

Besides, who wants to walk around in the dark constantly stubbing one's toes? That's just a PRACTICAL reason!

Answer 2

I live one head turn from the beach in Florida. All my life beforehand I endured the midwestern winters whereby we just never saw the sun. We were pirates of depression. Now I have absolutely no reason to be depressed. If I walk out my front door I see the beach. That same thing I longed for when I lived in the midwest. It's odd and takes getting used to. But I've given up sunglasses. My eyes can handle it. I squint, sure, but it's a knowing squint. And later on I buy you a daquiri and find your hotel room.
