A villager came to the big city for the first time in his life.
He was amazed at the many wonders in the big city. He wanted to
buy something to bring back to his village. Most of the items
needed electrical connection and his village didn't even have
any electricity. He was delighted when he found a flashlight.
He bought the flashlight, which fascinated him every time he
pushed the switch and a bright light came on.
As he continued on his way, he noticed people waiting in line.
He inquired what this line was for and was told that they were
waiting to enter a theater where there was a movie playing.
He had no idea what a movie was, but decided to wait in line
too. He paid for a ticket and was ushered into a dark room.
After a little while, a picture started playing. He was
fascinated to see the beautiful scenery and all the action on
the screen.
Then he remembered the flashlight in his pocket.
'I will shine the flashlight on the picture, so I will see it
even better.' He took out the flashlight and shone it straight
at the screen, but to his amazement the picture became faded.
From all sides people started shouting that he should turn off
the light!
'But I only wanted to get a better view of the picture,' he said
to the one sitting next to him.
'Don't you know? Here, we see only in the dark!'
replied his neighbor.
The moral of the parable:
The same is in the theater of this world. Many of the pleasures
and values which people pursue have value only because we find
ourselves in spiritual darkness. When we bring spiritual light
into our lives, these values and pleasures fade, for they are
only imaginary and temporary.
