Are FLASHLIGHTS Still Relevant?

Are FLASHLIGHTS Still Relevant?

Are FLASHLIGHTS Still Relevant?  In today's digital age, just the word itself, 'FLASHLIGHT' will evoke reactions like it's part of the Jurassic Era.  NOT TOO FAST dude.  Let's spend today's thread to give me the chance to resuscitate the ICU-like stage of a FLASHLIGHT's role💴💷💵

This morning, this Facebook sharing 'hit me home'.  WHEN A FLASHLIGHT GROWS DIM or QUITS WORKING, DO YOU JUST THROW IT AWAY?  OF COURSE NOT.  YOU CHANGE THE BATTERIES. WHEN A PERSON MESSES UP, DO YOU CAST THEM ASIDE?  OF COURSE NOT.  YOU HELP THEM CHANGE THEIR BATTERIES.  SOME NEED AA - for attention & affection.  SOME NEED AAA - for attention, affection & acceptance.  SOME NEED C - for compassion.  SOME NEED D - direction📗📙📘

AND IF THEY STILL DON'T SEEM TO SHINE, SIMPLY SIT WITH THEM QUIETLY AND SHARE YOUR LIGHT.

Well said.  Indeed, it is true that many creative types are more inspired during the DARK TIMES we encounter in life.  And personally, I found that profound DARKNESS hinders creativity, and that my own 'creative juices' flow best when there's a balance between the darkness and the light.  People who know me quite well enough view me as someone who REACHES FOR THE LIGHT as much as possible with NO hesitation, even if it appears that I seem to be SEEKING HELP from others🔦🔦🔦

Some people, after going through their own DARKNESS, may easily move on OR 'get on with it' while others tend to linger in that DARKNESS.  Perhaps this has something to do with acknowledging or being mindful of one's SHADOW side.  The SHADOW may be thought of as the 'DUMPING GROUND' for undesirable traits or those characteristics that have NOT been brought into our consciousness❎❎❎

Those traits that we find distasteful in others are often CLUES to the characteristics of our SHADOW sides.  It has been said that we CANNOT know the LIGHT without experiencing the DARKNESS but at the same time, both DARK and LIGHT experiences are great teachers.  In fact, both GROWTH and TRANSFORMATION are born out of the DARKNESS.  Do we agree now that FLASHLIGHTS ARE THAT RELEVANT❗❗❗
