What does this quote mean? (It is symbolic - it has nothing to do with candles and flames). What shadow have you cast on yourself? Describe how a character in a text you have read has experienced the same thing.
What this quote means is that when you get something good or wish to have something good, there has to be a negative side to it. It means, in order to get success, you have to sacrifice something. In our case, success would be the flame or the light, and the sacrifice that's taken place would be the shadow. I hypothesize this because in this applicable to many situations, it can be used to describe a character trait or an event.
A shadow I would say I've cast on myself is accepting the MST Program at West Humber. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited, I'm jubilant, I'm jovial, I can't complain because I had accepted, it's just that when I accepted the request, I had put many of my friendships on the line. Many of my friends, are going to go to West Humber too, and when i accepted, I kept in mind that I could be jeopardizing the current friendship we have. When I had gone to the MST Open house I was told that the classes would be separate from the regular program classes. The time I "lit the light" was by accepting this program, accepting it now would later on in my life open up a portal to help support me and get me somewhere. The shadow that came with this lit light, was losing my friends.
