Candlebearer

'Would you like to be a candlebearer ?'

Sure. It could not be that difficult, could it ? So, here I go... I try to hold the candle on its stick up high, so people can see the light. Then I start walking and later realize that the faster I go, the bigger air movement around the candle that I make. With that said, it means there's a wind coming through and it looks like the light will die soon. I keep my pace slower and pray that the light will be fine. What would happen if the light goes off ? Maybe I'll be remembered as the worst candlebearer ever. I don't even want to think about it. Thank God, I finally get to the point where the candle should stay.

'Do you ever feel like losing hope ?'

That question is something that gets into my attention. Then, he repeats the same question. Like once is not enough to bother me. Well, I never count how many times. However, I know exactly how it feels. Helpless. Hopeless. Too many difficulties. No way out.

'Do you feel like giving up ?'

Ofcourse. Many times. I guess that's the easiest solution of all problems, right ? Giving up. Nobody cares anyway. No, wait... Nobody ? I guess I care. I do. I don't think I can live peacefully after giving up. I will never forgive myself and ask over and over again; what if... Did I make a right decision ?

'Be a person of hope...'

I am sure that's the best solution. Then, the next thing comes to mind is that I wish to become a person of hope. Not only for myself, but also for another person. Thus, I can show people that there's a hope for every helpless situation. Isn't that the candlebearer's duty after all ? To hold the light, so people can see it.
