Light Our Candles Together Against the Darkness

Some individuals it seems—by their very nature, spew darkness. Such individuals have haunted mankind since the dawn of time. Others then react—albeit with good intentions—emotionally, but their emotions energize the darkness by increasing its vastness, its loneliness, its chill and foreboding. I prefer those who hold up a candle against the darkness and befriend those who draw near.

​Let us light our candles together against the darkness.

Peter E. Greulich

​Inspired by this quote: “Thomas J. Watson preferred to light a candle rather than to criticize the dark.”
