I am so dissapointed!:(

why dissappointed? it is not the sphinx riddle, meaning life or death.

i am never good at solving riddles.

maybe one has to be a child or think like a child to figure things out.

from scratch

i finished my learning about 10 years ago. read so many books by then.
then i started my professional training; i was always wondering how one defines how well one is educated, learned, cultured or intectuallized.

sometimes folks have phd, md or jd; but they do not seem to be very well educated in the humanities.

i started to learn deutsch simply because i wanted to read some novels/poems in german. tried 2 semesters and then gave up

no longer have the luxry of "to learn"

"to learn"is an attitude, not a capability, isn't it? no matter how old you are.
btw, your intelligent and wisdom are admirable.

why is shadow necessary right though? what happen if the light sourse shine diretly above the objects? there will be no shadow even when there is light.

HOPE!

a heavy rain this morning.

sitting in the traffic on the way to work and trying to figure out the riddle. why could not I think of the SHADOW? I thought it was the MOON. pretty close.
how about the chinese poem "the moon, the chalice and the shadow, let us make it a party of three." was the poet simply cheerful or was he in insurmountable solitude?
what does the book One Hudnred Years of Solitude try to convey? Love? Hope?

It must be HOPE then. In the darkest hours, DESPAIR sets in and there is no glimmer of HOPE. How about Hell, the place of eternal damnation? In Milton's words, Hell is an extreme dark place; even the flames are black. At that time, Milton was very close to total blindness. What was in his mind, despair ? hope?

I think Shadow is a rousy answer. Hope is better or even sunlight
haven't finish the book, I guess somehow I got lost or because I wasn't in the mood to read

For a human, i.e. the "you" in the riddle, we know for sure that there will be a shadow as long as there is light. The location and angle of the light don't matter that much in this case.
