Today I will light one candle and that candle is myself. I will keep my own flame burning. I turn my sight to light and love and goodness. For today there is no need to be discouraged. So what if I see and identify all the ills of society and diagnose it as sick-what good will that do me or anyone else? I heal society by healing myself. Just as life is lived one day at a time, the world will heal one person at a time. Each time I think a positive, loving thought, it goes into the ether and vibrates. This is nothing particularly mystical; I have but to sit near someone and look at their face to feel how their thoughts affect me. I take ownership of my own inner workings and their effect on others.

I do my part to heal my world.

Society itself is an accident to the spirit and if society in any of its forms is to be justified morally, it must be justified at the bar of the individual conscience.
George Santayana
