It’s the shining forth of the human spirit.
You couldn’t stop it no matter how hard you
tried.
No matter how hard, the human
spirit will always shine forth.
In all
of its imperfections, its sometimes ugliness, its weaknesses and callousness,
its ignorance and selfishness, in the end the human spirit will always shine
forth.
And when times are especially low
and especially broken and especially filled with terror, that is when the human
spirit shines its brightest.
Because you cannot kill the light.
You can douse it temporarily.
You can shield your eyes.
You can ignore it and run from it.
But you cannot extinguish it.
Light is one of the Vital Principles, which
means it has no opposite.
Light can
drive out the darkness in an instant, but there is nothing that can drive out
the light--at all, ever.
Even a single
candle can hold itself against the entire horde of darkness in the Universe,
and there’s not a thing the darkness can do about it.
