Being a Light

In one corner of the world squatted a sullen,
sulking, friendless darkness. Suddenly a tiny
light appeared. It was very small but it was a
light. Someone had put it there. It just stood
there and sent out its rays.

A passerby remarked to the light: "Don't you
think you would be of more use somewhere else and
not in this God-forsaken corner?"

"Not really," said 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, but so
that others could seen in the dark."

When the gloomy darkness heard this, it gritted
its teeth and full of furry, tried to put out the
light. But the gigantic darkness was powerless
against this tiny light that wanted to shine.

An old saying goes: "It is better to light one
candle than to curse the darkness
