Today's Stoic Thought
“What is to give light must endure burning.”Viktor Frankl
In modern life, this means that in order to inspire and guide others, one must often face challenges and sacrifices themselves. Just like a teacher working hard to educate and support their students, enduring difficulties is a necessary part of shining a light for others.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
This verse reminds us that as lights of the world, we must let our light shine before others through our good deeds. It takes courage to face challenges and sacrifices, to endure burning, in order to bring light to those around us.
