“Light does not fail because men have blinded themselves; it remains, with its own properties, while the blinded are plunged in darkness through their own fault… Therefore, all who revolt from the Father’s light, and who transgress the law of liberty, have removed themselves through their own fault, since they were created free and self-determining.” (St. Irenaeus of Lyons)
The sun continues to shine even if all people have blinded themselves. The sun continues to shine even when dark storm clouds cover the earth. Neither human blindness nor the darkest storm clouds change the nature of or the properties of the sun.
This applies to spiritual truth, to the light of Christ as well. The Light does not fail even if everyone chooses blindness. It is possible to have eyes and not see as the scriptures warn. Truth is not diminished because people will not see it, embrace it and proclaim it. It is no less true just because no one wishes to know it.
