Interpretation
The speaker links “early morning” with the beginnings of a human life to suggest that clarity is easiest at moments of renewal, before experience, habit, or cynicism cast “shadows” over perception. Morning light is a metaphor for freshness: when the day (or the self) is new, the world can be seen with fewer distortions and fewer accumulated fears. The second sentence turns the image into an ethical claim: truth is not merely discovered by scrutiny of the old, but often requires a restart—reframing assumptions, returning to first principles, or choosing a new course. In this sense, truth is portrayed as dynamic and regenerative rather than static.
