A Revelation: Hypocrisy to Humility

The powerful luminance pierced the darkness, and came flooding into the room, echoing off the walls.  She could barely open her eyes, as she lay on the icy concrete.  She had been there for so long, had become numb to the realities of her lifestyle.  Day after day she lived in this place by choice.  Finding herself superior to the rest of humanity, she removed herself form everyone and everything, for what could they possibly offer a girl who stood above them all.  When looking down her nose at them it became impossible to see her own flaws and faults.  Instead she was filled with unmatchable pride that grew with every step.  Until the day she fell.  When she fell, she fell far down into the black pit, becoming blinded to everything and filled with bitterness.  Remaining there, the girl began to adjust and slowly regained a minimal amount of sight, but only enough to distinguish form.  She learned to live by this sight and learned to live alone.  Questions began to make their way through her mind, and she questioned why this had occurred.  She began to search for a reason.  It was not until she had reached her limit of frustration and collapsed in exhaustion that it happened.  The door was opened and she received a light to powerful to ignore.  At first its strength blinded her, but in time she saw the truth and beauty of her revelation.

"For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness, For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people, For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry, For Beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day, For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others."
