The Lantern That Refused the Dark
When Light Chooses Its Own Path
A lantern once refused to shine in darkness. Instead, it glowed only during daylight, bewildering everyone. But one philosopher noticed: darkness fled wherever the lantern walked. It wasn’t providing light—it was denying shadow. He whispered, “Some illuminations come not from shining, but from refusing to let darkness enter.”

Any Kind Of Life Can Be Hobby Filled
As we all know, living life consists of hobbies throughout it. If we didn’t have hobbies we wouldn’t be living. Life is different for every person no matter if they live together or not, nobody's life is the same as anyone else’s. So everyone can have different hobbies which means everyone’s lives will be filled with hobbies differently from even the people they live with. If we all had the same hobbies life would be pretty boring which is why we don’t have the same hobbies as everyone else just as we don’t have the same life as everyone else. This is why the hobbies that people have are unique to them for the most part just as life is unique to the person living it. Life is meant to be unique because we are all meant to be different. If we were all the same life would be pretty boring wouldn’t it? Yes it would. This is why each and every person has their own hobbies in their lives and does them when it works for them. So any life that we live can be a hobby filled life because if that is what we want our lives to be then they can. It is something that each and every person has control over.
