Consolation of Philosophy

“The mind forgets its inward light, And turns in trust to the dark without.” In this line, there is a clear definition of the way problems are able to make a person to be frustrated. This statement comes as a result of the person having under gone too many problems and as a result, he forgets the good thing that he has in life and as a result, simply focuses on the bad and negative things in his life currently. This is something that results in him being a very sad person and one that cannot see any good with his own life (Boethius and Walsh 3). This is something that the author was going through mainly as a result of the fact that he had been through so many problems that has simply made him to be very frustrated with his own life.
