You have to be a light to yourself in a world that is utterly becoming dark.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
About This Quote

You have to be a light to yourself in a world that is utterly becoming dark. The world is going crazy, and it feels like everything is falling apart. Sometimes we feel like we’re falling apart as well. We can’t see a way out of our problems, and we don’t know how to make them better.

But you can still be a light to yourself even when the world is falling apart around you. The best thing you can do for yourself is make sure you are happy. You can keep your strength by being patient and kind, and by doing things that make you happy.

That’s something no one can take away from you, no matter what happens in the world.
