Sun Part 1

   The autumn breeze blew the falling leaves onto the street. The leaves had millions of colors about them that only made the street appear more seasonal. The pumpkins on the doorsteps had carved faces letting candlelight seep onto the dark porch. The sun was setting in brilliant shades of pink and purple. As it grew darker, it seemed as if the sun was leaving forever and would never return, but as we knew from ongoing experience, it would return and bring its beautiful light again. 
    The porch light was off and the front door was closed. The windows lit, but no one inside to enjoy the light. The beautiful, beautiful light. The light was an amazing gift that they didn't appreciate. I do not like it when people do not appreciate the wonderful gifts life blesses us with. Taking something for granted is one of the worst sins a man can commit. The woman was just lying in her bed, in her dark room, wasting the light from the sunset and the rest of her house. She didn't deserve the precious light.
    


    In another life, I might have accepted the ignorance and terrible selfishness of this life, of these people, but in this life, I do not. If one can not appreciate the most simple things like light, how can they appreciate more complex things like love? The entire human race takes simple things like light, water, and air for granted and they truly cannot fathom how needed these things are until they loose them. What would happen if the sun were to disappear? Everyone would eventually die and wish for their dying family that the sun would return. They should have appreciated it while they had it. Now they have nothing.
    You may be wondering why I care at all about whether or not other people respect and love and appreciate the light the sun brings us, but what started it was only a minor part of my life.
