Another Light on Diwali

Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is more than just a celebration; it’s a reflection of some deep human needs that connect us all. People around the world eagerly look forward to this time because it addresses universal desires – hope, connection, and renewal.

At its heart, Diwali is about light overcoming darkness. This idea speaks to a basic human need for hope, especially during difficult times. We all seek moments where we can believe that things will get better, that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Lighting oil lamps and decorating homes reminds us that even a small spark can bring warmth and guidance.

Diwali also brings people together. In today’s world, where we often feel disconnected, this festival encourages gathering with loved ones, sharing sweets, and celebrating togetherness. It fulfills a need for connection and the joy that comes from being with others.

Finally, Diwali represents a fresh start. The cleaning, decorating, and rituals symbolize letting go of the old and welcoming the new. This need for renewal is something everyone experiences – wanting a chance to start over, refresh, and look forward to better things.
