The Little Ghost is a representation of us when we're in a dark place in our minds and feel alone. Just when we're about to escape it, we fall back into that dark place again.
However, somehow, somewhere, sometime, there will be a light. A ray of hope that helps us out of the dark place. When we're happy with where and who we are, we find that light. But when we're feeling helpless, depressed, the light will find us.
In "The Little Ghost", the tiny jar is symbolic of that light. But, the light in the jar is actually the Little Ghost's light, and it is its own light being reflected.
A story about not giving up on ourselves along with that hope, I hope you will love this story.
