Journal Writing Prompt: Light

By Dee · Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark. The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.

- Plato

There were a number of ancient Philosophers who focused on seeking “the good, the true, and the light”. And, I believe that in this context, Plato is looking at the “light” with that view. In your journal, consider this quote - do you believe that it is a real tragedy when someone lives their life in fear of that “light”?

Journal Writing Prompt Bonus: In your journal, give further thought to today’s quote. Would you consider yourself someone who is afraid of the light? Or, are you someone who actively pursues the light - looking for it, seeking it, always keeping it in your line of sight? Or, are you someone who falls somewhere in between? No matter what your answer, delve a little deeper and answer the question: Why am I this way?

Happy Journaling!
