About This Quote
This proverb reminds us that, although people may deceive us at times, there is still truth in the light of day. It also teaches us to be aware of the dark places in our lives so we can avoid them. When it comes to darkness, we often feel like we cannot see our way through it. We also feel like the only person who is able to see clearly in the dark is someone else.
We think that others must be better equipped than ourselves to deal with the darkness in our lives. The truth is that everyone has their own way of dealing with darkness. Some people find strength in prayer, others find it in their faith, and yet others find the courage they need in the presence of family or friends.
