i need an interpretation from this quote?
im writing an essay about this story “in praise of shadow” by tanizaki and i have to interpret some quotes. im not 100% sure what hes trying to get from this quote. any suggestions would be great! heres the quote:
If light is scarce then light is scarce; we will immerse ourselves in the darkness and there discover its own particular beauty. But the progressive Westerner is determined always to better his lot. From candle to oil lamp, oil lamp to gaslight, gaslight to electric light — his quest for a brighter light never ceases, he spares no pains to eradicate even the minutest shadow.
That is actually a very cool quote. A related quote that you can use is from an ancient Chinese philosopher: “If I agree, things are the way they are. If I disagree, things are the way they are.” It means that you should be content with your lot in life, no matter what it is. If you don’t have much “light”, learn to love living in the “dark”. Tanizaki is arguing that the Western culture is not content to use what is naturally given to them. For them, “the grass is always greener on the other side.” Instead of being content with not having light, they insist on manufacturing their own. This is a statement about how Western culture does not honor or respect the natural world and has never learned to be thankful for the things they are given. Good luck.
