The Lonely Lighthouse
Sometimes the lighthouse gets lonely. It doesn’t realize how much light it has. But even when it knows that its own life is hard, yet still it knows that others have it harder. While this comforts the lighthouse, it also makes the lighthouse more stressed out. It's comforted, because it realizes that it does not have to feel so sorry for itself, but it's stressed out because it realizes that it has an obligation. An obligation that it is not yet living up to. So far it feels that it has only asked for others' help. When indeed it needs to help others. It realizes that even though it holds a light that it cannot see; others can. And so they know how bright it is. But it still isn’t sure how much light it has/needs to share. So it wonders how it can become more aware? How can it let the waves stop crashing upon itself, and start recognizing the beams that it is sending out? It realizes that others have it darker than it does. It does not know why. Or how. It is a mystery to the lighthouse. But the lighthouse can recognize how much light it gives out and has by how many boats come to it. Because the more boats, the less light there must be anywhere else for the boats to follow. So in seeing others come close to itself, the lighthouse realizes what it is for others. And because of this introspective realization, the lighthouse decides that it must continue to shine, because it realizes that its light is necessary. And luckily, by watching others be guided by its light, it suddenly does not feel so alone in the dark.
