A black hole was once a blazing sun. But then its fire went out. Eventually, it collapsed in on itself, becoming a mass of tremendous density.
And now, a star that once shone brightly, holds its light within itself, even drawing any surrounding light into it. Instead of light, the star now creates darkness.
A person, too, can end up being a black hole: someone who should shine and teach others but instead consumed and collapsed inwards, absorbed into themselves.
Now, instead of shining her light on others, she dims all the light, energy, and wisdom that passes her way, causing more darkness.
We live in times when each of us can be as bright as the sun. The universe has enough black holes. You have light. Shine it for us.
