“When light enters the
house, darkness removes itself” (Nigerian/Yoruba proverb)
Light and darkness are
opposite forces. In the heart of darkness, there are cluelessness, gloom,
misfortune, evil and hopelessness. Light, on the other hand illuminates and
restores the hope lost in darkness.
Our ancestors expect
us to always embrace light so as to be enlightened. We are also expected to
serve as light in our neighbourhood, community, society, office and wherever we
find ourselves.
Your presence as an
individual is expected to brighten the lives of those who are around you.
Always attract people and things that would illuminate and brighten your life;
the more you walk in the path of light, the brighter you are.
However, there are
some people, ideas, beliefs, rituals and lifestyle that may deem your light
till it fades off. Never walk in the path of darkness because you may soon fall
into a pit. Stay away from anyone or anything that doesn’t or won’t make your
light shine. As from this week, start showing the world that you’ve got the
light. Let there be light!
