ANOTHER SPEECH

The next entry I am going to post is another speech that I have delivered during our promenade. I was asked to deliver a speech for our candle lighting ceremony. I made the speech by myself. This how my speech goes.]

Speaker:

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen.

Light, to a physicist it is a form of radiant energy. To a photographer, a flash of light creates a product of an art. To an actress, fame and to a blind, Light is hope. These people have defined light in their own ways. But for me light was best defined neither by them but by that little creature in Rizal's famous story “ Ang Gamo-gamo at ang Lampara”. Remember when the moth flew near the lamp? Many think that it was just all about how one should obey his parents. Looking it in a brighting side, I see it as a courageous act of the moth to for taking the risk to know what light really was. That moth had defined light as knowledge. As Joseph Addison had once said that, “knowledge is, indeed, that, which, next to virtue, truly and essentially raises one man above another.”
Tonight let us all reflect to light flickering in the burning wax at the center and remember the knowledge that God ha breathed unto us. Reflecting to that light, let us all not forget it's very essence. Let us all not forget that knowledge does not rest in everyone's mind. Therefore it is our prime responsibility to share our lights to others.
Ladies and Gentlemen you may now share the light of your candles.
