>To the ambitious, contentment in and acceptance/respect of natures moods and cycles may seem melancholy or mournful, I guess
I would almost describe it as "self-indulgently masochistic". If it's something from the past, pay it reverence. If it's something from the present, figure out how to solve it. Dwelling on pain is, I don't know, a misguided attempt to think that you can resolve what's causing it by feeling bad about it? Accept that you're both already dead and immortal, dwelling on a particular point in the cycle is irrational because you're just going around in the same circle over and over again anyway. Focus on bringing it to a higher level of resonance; you have a job to do
>raging light (divinely wrathful?)
Not wrath. Wrath implies a desire to harm others. What I'm describing is banishing the fear and doubt that frustrates your efforts to help other people, which anger can be useful for (since fear and aggression are basically just two responses to the same emotional experience of threat, hence "fight or flight response"). It can also be a light to other people, to inspire the same courage in them
