Simplified Meaning:

Imagine being in a dark room where you can't see anything around you. When you light a candle, the room changes immediately. The candle pushes back the darkness, showing you things you couldn't see before. This tiny light helps you understand what the darkness is and where it ends. Think about times when someone spreads kindness or good ideas in a difficult situation. One person's actions can make a big difference, showing the right path when everything seems lost. This quote shows that even small positive efforts can stand against big problems and help clarify what those problems are. You can use this idea in your life by being that small light—a source of hope and clarity for others, even when things seem bleak.
