Four Candles in a Room
Once at night time, four candles were burning in a room and they started talking to each other. The first candle said, “I am peaceful but in the present, there is catastrophe and robbery everywhere and it seems like the world doesn’t want me anymore. Therefore, I can’t stay here anymore…”
And saying that the candle was extinguished.
After this second candle said, “I am trust and today there are lies and deceit everywhere. I don’t think I am needed anymore. Therefore, I am also leaving..”
Saying that second candle also got extinguished.
The third candle sadly said, “I am love, I have the power to keep burning but today, everyone is so busy that no one has time for me. People are even forgetting to love their loved ones too. I cannot bear all this, therefore I am also going from this world..”
Saying that the third candle also extinguished.
Just then an innocent boy entered that room and seeing extinguished candles, he said, “Why didn’t you candles burn till the end? How can you leave like this?”
At this, the fourth candle said to the boy, “Dear child, don’t be sad, I am hopeful and while I am burning you can light the rest of the candles again.”
Hearing this child’s eyes sparkled he took that candle of hope and relight candles of Peace, Faith, and Love.
Moral of the story
When everything looks bad and there is darkness all around, even then Don’t give up Hope because it has so much power that it can give you back, every lost thing.
Keep your hope candle lit because if it keeps on burning you can light all other candles.
