The Green light response

At the end of the book we read about Nick looking at the green light and how we all are striving for something. And I agree because we as humans have a natural tendency to want what we can’t have. Throughout all our lives we see and think about things that would make our lives better, some light that we look at and yearn for, even though we may never get it. And then there are some of us who look at that light and say,” I’m going to get that light, I am going to get that someday.” This thought states that even though this thing that we want is not entirely in our grasp we still fight against a current, a current that we try to overcome and one day claim this light. Why in the first do we think of this light, do we ever think that we need to get it, well I think that the reason we need it is because of our insecurities and our overall need to have what we can’t have. With these things set in place we as humans try to fight against that current to claim that light and get what we have always wished for. But the light is also a two way street, if your light is something that is not possible to attain, like control of the universe, there is no point in trying to get that light, but if your light is possible to attain, then you should go for it, no matter what.
