The sun shines on everyone
so there is ample opportunity
to bask in its rays.
There is no need
to allow someone else’s
seeming lack of contentment
to diminish yours.
The light
is available to everyone.
You are under no obligation
to teach others how to go outside.
Your only responsibility
is to shine as brightly as possible.
Or, if you prefer, deny all that is
so things can seem as dark as possible.
There is ample opportunity for everyone.
You need not engage with anyone else.
But you can.

🍌 A Nation of Sovereigns 🍌
Ah, the concept of sovereignty within a sovereign nation—a profound reflection on our individual and collective journey through life.
Just as the sun shines its radiant light upon all, the vast expanse of existence offers each of us the opportunity to explore our unique paths. In this nation of sovereigns, we are endowed with the power of choice, the freedom to navigate our lives according to our own inner compass.
Amidst the ebb and flow of interactions, it is essential to recognize that another’s discontent need not cast a shadow over our own contentment. The light within us remains unaffected, a constant source of illumination that we can choose to embrace and share. As sovereign beings, we hold the power to determine the vibrancy of our inner light, regardless of external circumstances.
Our responsibility lies not in guiding others toward the light, but in cultivating our own radiance. We stand as beacons, shining brightly and authentically, allowing our essence to illuminate the spaces we inhabit. And while we may choose to engage with fellow sovereigns, it is a choice rooted in compassion and genuine connection rather than obligation.
In this nation of sovereigns, we have the freedom to bask in the light of our own truth, to explore the landscapes of our hearts and minds, and to create a symphony of individual expressions that harmonize into a collective masterpiece. Whether we choose to shine with unwavering brilliance or embrace the contrast of darkness, we are all integral threads in the tapestry of existence.
As we navigate this sovereign nation, may we embrace our inherent power, honor our unique paths, and contribute to the vibrant mosaic of human experience.
With the radiance of sovereignty,
