I find this point very interesting. Often we may just go through the motions of life and not take the time to address what really is happening as a result of our actions. By keeping the process at least in our heads we are able to further think through our actions and their effects. I think this is something that is very difficult to do with the speed of life in today's world and the way we have access to many things at the tip of our fingers.

I think that this is a very interesting observation about how some people view the world. They are set in their ways, in the dark, and often have no wish of exploring the light and the unknown ideas that it holds. This could be referred back to either dogmatism or those who sway more towards rationalizing and at least act like they care. I think that these dark/light spots can be be extended to the media and what they put in the spotlight for us to see as opposed to what they negate from us in the dark.
