Being A Light
In one corner of the world squatted a sullen, sulking, chilly friendless darkness. Suddenly there appeared in forsaken corner a tiny light. It was small, but it was a light. Someone had put it there. It just stood there and radiated. A passerby remarked, ” Don’t you think you would be more useful somewhere else and not in this Godforsaken corner?”
“Why?”asked the little light. “I shine because I am a light. And because I shine, I am a light. I don’t shine in order to be seen. no. I shine because it gives me joy to shine, and to be a light.” But when the gloomy darkness heard this, it gritted its teeth and full of fury to put the light out. But the gigantic darkness was powerless against this tiny light.
