I saw this post on Facebook... a video... of a story that I have heard before so I decided to share it with my watt-pad followers or any one that happens to stumble upon my profile.
"The story of the four candles"
"Four candles slowly burned; in an ambiance so soft, one could almost hear them talking..."
"The first candle, the candle of peace, started talking 'I am Peace! The world is full of anger and fighting. Nobody can keep me lit.' Then the flame of peace went out completely."
"The second candle, the candle of faith, started talking 'I am Faith! I am no longer indispensable. It doesn't make sense that I stay lit another moment.' Just then a breeze softly blew Faith's flame."
"The third candle, the candle of love, started talking 'I am Love! People don't understand my importance so they simply put me aside. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them.' And waiting no longer Love's flame went out."
"Suddenly... a child entered the room and saw the three unlit candles. 'Why aren't you burning? You're supposed to stay lit till the end.' Saying this, the child began to cry."
(This is where I come in (when I was 4)) "But grandma what about the forth candle?"
Continuing the story "Then the forth candle, the candle of hope, started talking ' Don't be afraid, I am Hope! While I am still burning we can re-light the other candles.' With shining eyes the child took the candle of hope and lit the other candles."
(Me now) "These four candles burn in every one and they make balance in someone so don't let them get blown out without a fight."
