The Blind Man and the Candle

The Blind Man and the Candle – A Short Story with Deep Wisdom – Once, in a quiet village, lived an old man who had been blind since birth. Despite his blindness, he would walk through the village at night holding a lit candle in his hand. People would often laugh and ask; "Why do you carry a candle when you can't see the light?" The old man would smile and reply: I don’t carry the candle for myself. I carry it so others can see me and avoid bumping into me in the dark." One night, a young boy walked with the old man. After a while, the boy asked: But what if someone sees the candle and still hurts you?" The old man paused, then said: Then it’s no longer my darkness. It’s theirs Moral of the Story: Doing good is not always for your benefit—it’s for others. And even if they still choose to harm you despite your kindness, the blame is not on you, but on them. Carry your light, even if you live in darkness. By: MINDROVA. Join me and enjoy
