Don't Mistake Your Candle for the Sun!!!
I have been toying in my mind how to bring this thought out and my childhood friend Medardo Panlilio, neighbor classmate author and in short a brilliant sterling mind gave me this inspiring title...Don't Mistake Your Candle for the sun.

It goes with "Little Knowledge is a Dangerous Thing" A Quiet River Runs Deep, An Empty Tin Can is stood differently so thus my folly.

Noisier Than a Filled One" Nevertheless, it's my own story that I unraveled. So I learned but under

I was sensitive..meaning easily offended, because I wasn't aware of the goodness that I have..

I was jealous because I failed to discern my own and others' gifts
I was angry because I thought I am unjustly persecuted but it was just the world moving on its own, thus, I dug deeper into my own misery.
I was defensive because I thought other people's actions and thoughts threatened me or derogatory but actually they're just trying to survive on their own just like anyone.
I was reactive because I thought other people's actions and thoughts were against me but actually they're just trying to react the same way I do. The hard part is accepting these differences and be less delusional that I am the center of the world

So I have mistaken my candle light for the sun. I thought the world revolves around me. And to my chagrin there are billions of other candlelights everywhere.

So I thought I was just a negligible fool to this world and as weak as it is yet it is still mine to protect and still be a respectable entity. Defensively.

Though I knew all along of that bigger light, my refusal to accept it has an end. We all learn at certain point in time.

This amazing light that can change the darkest of nights or souls. It can melt all the icy coldness in everyone's hearts, it can break all walls that is restricting us and so powerful that it can eliminate all fears, doubts and anger in us. It can illuminate everything

I pray that may all our thought, works and words bring or point everyone to the bigger light that gives life. There is a way. HUMILITY, the background of faith, the foundation of love, the fabric of patience.
