Response to Sadie Thompson’s Light From Many Lamps Post (Week 8)

This is my response to Sadie Thompson’s post Light from Many Lamps, Part 7 or 8. 

Hi Sadie! I agree with you that it is possible to fully live in a day-tight compartment. Reflecting on past experiences and planning for the future are important parts of personal and professional growth and development. Like you, I believe I worry more than the average person. I often dwell on mistakes I have made in the past more than I should, especially when I cannot change them. I also sometimes worry unnecessarily about the future about things that are unlikely to happen anyways.

In my opinion, I think that living in a day-tight compartment is not simply just not reflecting on past experiences or planning for the future, but rather to remove the negativity and regret when thinking about the past and future. We should look to the past as a learning experience but not to dwell on what we could change. We should prepare for the future but not worry about improbable or negative outcomes.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
