Each individual has a bright light within, which beams like a torchlight on whatever they focus on.
When all that light is directed at you, a dark hole develops within to soak up the light.
It is just like having the sun focused on you, first there is a darkening and then ultimately, a charring.
Fame and shame are difficult things to manage.
Some people have managed them by polishing (training) themselves to be a reflection. The logic is – “Give most of that light back, and you will avoid the darkness it tries to nurture.”
Become the mirror of the people, reflect back their focus to themselves by showing them parts of you that they can connect deeply to. They need to see that you are just a human being, having vivid and complex experiences, like them.
There is a darkness that grows within anyone that gets the focus of the people. When it is your turn, please be ready with your mirror.
