About This Quote

In a world filled with darkness, it is difficult to find a light, but a candle is that light. It is not the brightest of lights but it is not the smallest of lights either. It is just enough to illuminate the path ahead and to give hope. Looking at the quote, we can understand how useless it would be to curse the darkness as there is no need to curse something you don’t have control over.

At the same time, we cannot deny that we live in a world full of darkness and we can’t always control our situations. But if we keep a light burning and keep trying to better ourselves, we will soon find our way out of our darkness and see what it really means to be free.
