Instead of complaining about all the bad stuff, let’s try doing something good instead. That’s what “light a candle instead of cursing the darkness” means. It’s about being part of the solution instead of just talking about the problem.
Sometimes, when we’re busy, we get caught up thinking about all the things that are wrong – like how things are tough, or how people aren’t very nice, or how there’s not enough kindness in the world. It’s easy to feel stressed out when we think about these things too much.
But if we focus too much on the bad stuff, it just makes us feel even worse. We start to feel discouraged and overwhelmed.
What’s cool is that when we choose to do something positive instead of just worrying, we can actually make things better. It’s like lighting a candle in the dark. It means making a suggestion or doing something nice to fix a problem. It’s about putting more energy into finding a solution instead of just complaining about the problem.
