From a distance, in a small window in the lighthouse keeper's house, an oil lamp every night look with envy toward the lighthouse. He complained about his condition, "I am only an oil lamp inside the house a small, dark and airless. It is sad, shameful, and dishonorable. While the lighthouse lights up there, looking so great, bright and mighty. Ah .... I wish I was near the lighthouse, my life would be more meaningful, because it will be many people who see me and I can help the fishermen find the direction of the ship to take him back to their homes and families. "
Once, on a dark night, the lighthouse officers carrying oil lamps to illuminate the road to the lighthouse. Once there, the guard put an oil lamp near the lighthouse and left it beside the lighthouse lamp. The oil lamp was thrilled. His dream became a reality. Finally, he could be coupled with a gallant lighthouse. However, his joy is only momentary. Because the ratio of light that is not balanced, then no one has seen or noticed an oil lamp. In fact, from a distance the oil lamp is almost not visible at all for being so weak and small.
At that time, the lamp was aware of one thing. He knew that to make him mean, he should be in the right place, even in a room. No matter how dirty, small and stuffy room, but there is more useful. Because, although not as big lighthouse flame, the tiny lights also can emit light to illuminate the darkness of others. Lights now know, the nature of envy because it is always comparing themselves with others, it makes him happy and have no meaning.
