Be kind is what this sentence means. Have gratitude for what you have in your own life. Tell people how much you appreciate them and go out of your way to show it. We learn that when we expose our darkness to the light, healing happens and unknown gifts and talents are revealed. We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark, the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights.
Once upon a time there was a man who was very weak, devastated and lonely. He had heard that in a place, far away, there was a holy flame burning. The flame would light-up light and happiness in one’s life. But it could be lit only once by a person.
So he got up and left his home to find the holy flame and bring some of its light back home to his house. He thought: ‘When I have this light, then I will have happiness in life.’
He travelled far, far away and finally found the holy flame, with which he lit his light. On his way back he had only one worry: ‘That his light could go out.’
On his way home he met someone who was freezing and didn’t have any fire and who begged him to give him some of his fire. The man with the light hesitated for a moment. Wasn’t his light too precious, too holy to be given away for something ordinary like that? Despite these doubts, he decided to give some of his light to the one who was freezing in the cold.
The man continued his journey home and when he had almost reached his house a terrible thunderstorm started. He tried to protect his light from the rain and the storm, but at the end his light went out.
To return the long way back to the place where the holy flame was burning was not possible- but he could go to the human being whom he had helped on his way home.And with his light he could light his own again.
