A Ray of Light


Good intentions can only do so much. Many want to help as many people as possible, yet all these different factors in life don't allow them to. They may have the heart to and will to provide those in need with aid and comfort, yet it doesn't extend beyond that. As I stood on the grand carpet of leaves, feeling the ambiance around me, there were luminous rays of light that pierced through the thick layers of leaves from the canopies above. Plants and flowers can only grow and blossom with the power of light from the sun, yet just like the good intentions of people, light can only reach so many places. Light only shines on specific patches of dirt, and the rest of the mountain side dwells under the shadows, rotting, and without hope. Only areas that are exposed to such majestic light can produce the plants and trees that nature so truly craves. This shows exactly who I am, and the pain that I feel because of it. Just like the light, I can only provide my services to the people I can come in contact with, the patches of dirt that light reaches, even though many children in areas struck by poverty and other people in general need it more than they do, the rest of the mountainside. It's a pity, and ultimately a tragedy, that the world simply doesn't work the way we want it to, even for all of the right reasons.
