"The sun is terrible in its brightness. You'll go blind if you stare at it too long."
"Then what good is it?"
"Its goodness or badness doesn't matter. All that matters is that it's there. And so whether we want to or not we must learn to live with it."
"But it's not always there. Where does it go?"
"No one knows but when it goes away we close our eyes and when it comes back we reopen them."
"Have you ever noticed that when it's gone there is less warmth and less light? Could the absence of the sun in any way be related to those factors?
"What a ridiculous thought! The sun is in the sky, aloof and unapproachable. How could it be responsible for the light and warmth in our lives?"
"Yes, of course, how silly of me."
