Examine this as light that would come in and light that would go out. The transparency of windows, the ability to see through windows, is the purpose of windows in this statement, allowing something to go in and out. What is the light in you? Now with this part of the statement, it is then expressing the metaphor as a direction from inside of someone to the outside. So it some one has a window, the ability or platform to say things and have people listen, what is the value if the person only speaks of hate and violent things. What value is there to listening to someone who speaks of these things through their "window"?
Let's consider the windows as opportunities to positively influence other people. An excellent situation would be a teacher. The have the "window", the class time to use effectively and beneficially for the students who are in the class. But what if the teacher only wants to pass the time and get through the class, not really imparting any knowledge, or being to lazy or indifferent or not caring. A window - the classroom, but no passion nor energy or light.
This example I believe best illustrates what it means to have a window, but no light.
If someone were to go to hell, it would be hard for them to survive and they would look tired and tortured, from being in hell. So it would make the most sense that if a person described a person as someone who "looks as if he was dead and in hell now," that that person would look horrendous from living a hard life.
Hope you get this question correct. Have a great day! :)
Same Sex Marriage. One state has it, federal law prohibits it. Many states also prohibit it and prohibit recognizing such a marriage from another state. (In essence violating the full faith and credit clause of the constitution, but there are lots of examples that in law) The US supreme court has not weighed in. So the issue is open. This issue could go lots of ways, depending on what cases get to the supreme court.
