Menerangi Kegelapan

Image
Dua lilin terletak bersebelahan. Satu tidak pernah dinyalakan, manakala satu lagi sudah separuh terbakar, bahagian tepinya bergaris-garis dengan jejak lilin yang beku, seperti koyak setiap kali ia berkelip dalam gelap. Lilin yang tidak dinyalakan itu memandang ke bawah pada temannya dengan agak bangga dan berkata: "Setiap petang, anda kembali lebih kecil daripada sebelumnya. Anda tidak akan pernah benar-benar dapat menikmati kehidupan dengan cara ini - seluruh badan anda hanya lebur menjadi tiada." "Lilin yang separuh terbakar itu tersenyum lembut dan menjawab, "Ya, saya tahu. Tetapi tidak ada kesedihan atau kekesalan dalam hati saya. Anda lihat, tujuan kita dalam hidup ini adalah untuk menyalakan cahaya, untuk menerangi jalan orang lain, dan untuk membawa rasa nyaman, selesa lagi suci bagi ibadah malam seseorang. "Sejujurnya, awaklah yang patut dikasihani. Lilin yang tidak pernah menemui tujuannya akhirnya tidak berguna kepada sesiapa pun. Lama kelamaan, anda ...

Illuminating the dark

Image
Two candles lay side by side. One had never been lit, while the other was already half-burned, its sides streaked with frozen, tear-like tracks of wax from every time it had flickered in the dark. The unlit candle looked down at her companion rather proudly and said: "Every single evening, you come back smaller than before. You’ll never actually get to enjoy life this way — your entire body is just melting away into nothing." The half-burned candle smiled softly and replied, "Yes, I know. But there is no sadness or regret in my heart. You see, our purpose in this life is to spark light, to illuminate the path for others, and to bring a sense of sacred comfort to someone's evening prayers.  Honestly, it’s you who should be pitied.
