@wisdoomer: Be the one who lights the candle… . . . Imagine being lost in the dark, and instead of lighting a candle, you complain about the night. You can’t change the silence… if you refuse to speak. You can’t heal a wound… if you never touch it. You can’t move forward… if all you do is stare at the weight on your shoulders. But that’s what so many of us do. We wait for the world to fix itself, forgetting that the smallest action shines brighter than the loudest complaint. We curse the darkness, not realizing we’ve been holding the match the whole time. And maybe that’s the tragedy of it — not that life is cruel, but that we spend so much time fighting shadows when all it takes is a spark. So don’t wait for the night to pass on its own. Be the one who lights the candle. Because even the smallest flame is enough to remind you that you were never powerless. . . . #quote #philosophy #peotry #dark #hopecore
