Four candles from the parable burned quietly and slowly melted. There was such silence that you could hear them talking.
THE FIRST ONE SAID:
— I am Calm… Unfortunately, people don’t know how to keep me. I think I have no choice but to go out!
And this candle’s light went out.
THE SECOND ONE SAID FAINTLY:
— I am Faith… Unfortunately, no one needs me. People don’t want to hear anything about me, so it makes no sense for me to turn on.
The Ending of the Parable
As soon as she was silent, a light breeze blew and lit the candle.
THE THIRD CANDLE WAS SAD:
— I am Love… I no longer have the strength to maintain my light. People don’t appreciate and understand me. They hate even those who love them the most – their loved ones. — it said and went out. Listen to the parable more… as it goes…
Suddenly a child entered the room and, seeing three extinguished candles, screamed in fright:
— What are you doing!? You must burn — I’m afraid of the dark! – he cried.
THE FOURTH CANDLE SAID:
— Don’t be afraid and don’t cry! While I’m burning, you can always light the other three candles. Because I am Hope.
You let the fire of Hope always burn in your soul! That’s how a simple parable may help to withstand difficulties. Thus you may sustain the hope of losing weight or becoming healthier.
