Shine Your Light

There is a lot of darkness in the world that we live in today. If you really can't see that darkness, it's either one of two reasons, the light around where you are us so bring that you can't see the dark or you are just so oblivious to the darkness that you can't see it at all.

When I say darkness, I don't mean literal absence of light, I'm talking about all the hate and pain and wickedness that is everywhere in the world today.

I can't really say that this darkness is everywhere because some places just have so much light that it almost seems like they are not a part of the world itself. It doesn't matter how we look at it, there will always be this variation.

While others have no food to eat, others have in affluence and they even waste it. While some can't afford good clothes, there are people who go shopping outside the country because they can. I have never really understood how it works and I guess I never will.

Do we sit back with our eyes closed against the darkness when there's a light inside of us, or do we stand up and let that light go burning the darkness to the ground.

It starts with a first step, a step of boldness to pluck out the reins of darkness with just a flicker of light. That flicker of light may never be enough to consume the darkness but do you know what it does?

It gives others the sign that they too can turn on their lights, whether in flickers or in flood lamps it doesn't matter because pretty soon it will all become a kingdom of light and this goes darkness.

These are not just though guys we should harbour in our minds or write about or talk about,they are things that we need to do because people need us and our light.

So if you encounter a darkness, now is not the time to go hiding and screaming for fear, now is the time to summon up courage and say no. Now is the time to bring out that big out lamp and let the light come raining in.

A line from a movie I can never forget once said:

"As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do same"

Closing Thoughts..

It doesn't matter what gender you are, race, ethnicity, age or religion, it's not about me and you but about helping the people who can't help themselves. We so this because we must, cos that light was given to us to shine.

How you shine it is up to you but you should never for once doubt that there is a light inside of you. Use it!

Thanks for reading and let it shine!
