While the sun (Èjì Ogbè) represents beauty and success, its intensity washes out subtle details. Period of loss, grief, or isolation are cosmically necessary to allow the 'stars' of esoteric wisdom to become visible. It argues that the 'night' of a crisis is the only time certain profound lessons can be learned.
If the sun never set, the brilliant stars would never be seen. The darkness of life is the stage upon which hidden wisdom is revealed.
Complements the Èjì Ogbè proverb regarding the sun and stars.
