If fate happens to toss you a light bulb, use it to light the path of others, for others will use theirs to light the path of you. With your light together with mine, it shines two times as bright and and twice as strong. If we could join a nation in a banner of bulbs we could light the universe and show the way of life to those who could not see it. If we could join the world in a billboard of fluorescence, we could shine a light to heaven, and help the blind see the beauty of the angels around them.
