The two lights governing the universe are the sun and the moon. The sun gives the light in the day and the moon gives its peculiar ray of light in the night. This consistently happens irrespective of the place and time and independently of anyone’s opinion or beliefs or even ignorance as it were of their existence.

The moon does not have the light of its own. For the moon to shine its peculiar ray of light in the night the moon is positioned in alignment with the sun and receivesits light from the sun. The amazing thing is that the moon has never shifted in its position and likewise the sun. Both the sun and the moon have never outlived its usefulness. This implies that both the sun and the moon are uncompromisingly consistent in their respective positions from the inception of the world and could be absolutely depended upon in the value they give to the world.

“It has been said that history turns on small hinges. So do peoples’ lives. Over a period of time, you make a series of decisions, each seemingly of little consequence. Yet, the total of these decisions finally determines the outcome of your life. A successful life depends upon developing a higher percentage of wisdom than error”-NORMAN VINCENT PEALE.
