In this quote, Og Mandino reminds us that we should embrace both the light and the darkness in our lives. I love the light for it shows me the way, though a bit more positive, also tells us not to shun the darkness because, even though the darkness blocks out the light, without it you would not see the stars at night. It also reminds us that there is always something positive in the dark times and that, even in our darkest hours, we can find some glimmer of hope, no matter how small.
