Have you ever noticed how the stars disappear when you're surrounded by city lights? Stars, millions of light years away, so vibrant and illuminating that we can still see them, even though they're far away. But when man-made light, so weak and dull when compared to the light of the stars, is cast where you are standing, the faint light seems to blot out the majestic stars. Why is that? People are like that too. Some with this inner light, so captivatingly beautiful, it's as if you can see their light from miles away. But most of the time, people will dark hearts and dull light when placed beside the wonderful inner light, seem to outshine those that should be taking everyone's breath away. Yet, even the light of the stars isn't enough.
