Light
I want to believe that the world we live in now is not just full of shadows, despair and bitter goodbyes. I want to think that if I keep trying, I’ll one day live to see the world in a brighter spectrum. I want to know that deep inside every single person is something beautiful, and that if I could just reach far enough, maybe I’ll be able to see it.
Because I want to be able to bring a smile to someone, even if it’s just for the moment. If I could make someone less fortunate than I am feel the same happiness I feel, then I would. I’d rather sacrifice something in my life if I know that what I’ve done is the cause of someone else’s laughter and smiles.
It sounds selfless, doesn’t it? And almost unimaginable that anyone would want to give away anything just to hear the joy in someone else. But it’s a selfish reason, at least for me. Because I want to know that I was the one who could give them this, that I was the one who brought them out of the dark.
In the corrupted times that we live in now, there has to be some good left to be shared. There has to be something to live for, because life is so so precious. And it seems naive, because my heart goes out for individuals rather than for the greater good of the society. Maybe I’m young and stupid and don’t know any better. Maybe one day I’ll regret all the choices I’ve made when I was too caught up in the moment. But if I knew that I had the ability to bring out the light that shines from someone, how could I turn it down?
How can I deny someone happiness if I know that I can give it to them without it having to be at my expense? I have no right to take away someone else’s love of life, and that should be the biggest sin of them all. If possible, I would never want to be the reason for someone’s tears.
I want to feel as though everything I’m doing isn’t just useless. That what I’m fighting for is more than just a mission statement. Somewhere, some place, there’s got to be an answer to our prayers. And perhaps, if we can keep our heads held high, one day we’ll know.
