I was told about the light of mine goes dimmer, unlike the previous time where it shines so bright. Come to think of it, we often express others in terms of light, be they cheerful, mysterious or not known, where the brightness varies from one to another. Remembering the old game my father used to play, “Age of Empire”; strategies are needed and we are required to move fast in preparing our army before the enemies are to attack. We explore the areas where the war is about to take place, to learn more about the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, to equip ourselves better. Each step we take, a particular area of the surrounding is lightened, completing part of the map we have; and the bigger group we are in, the brighter it seems to be. Applying that in our lives, we shine; does not matter who we are, what we are and what we do. Even if we think we are the most insignificant among all, we still shine, as that is who we can be, with or without us knowing. Indeed we may not only bring happiness to the people around, but also sorrows and anger; however, it does not mean that we don’t shine, because we still do and will continue to be. All and all, it is our choice on how bright we want ourselves to be; to shine for us alone or to shine for all.
