Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
Light is sweet and it is pleasant for the eyes to look upon the sun, which means that life itself and the sight of daylight are good and pleasant gifts. Sunlight is sweet to receive and the sun is pleasant to see, so daylight is to be welcomed as delightful rather than shunned. This pleasantness opens a call to enjoy life while keeping in mind that difficult days will come and that human pleasures and choices remain answerable to God. Young people in particular are urged to rejoice in life while remembering that life's days pass and that God will bring their choices into judgment. Living in sunlight rather than hiding from it is therefore right, so that prolonged confinement away from sunlight and fresh air is wretched treatment.
