The neighbors took my light bulb again.

showing off with an unnecessary light for no purpose other than to bring me comfort in the darkness. At any rate, it puzzles me why this little 40 watt bulb should bother anyone. But, in the time i've lived in this crappy row, i've been asked to turn it off countless times and even had the bulb stolen more than twice.
In order to complete this theivery, one must unscrew the top of the lantern, unscrew the lightbulb, retun the top and screw it back in. It seems a lot of work, although the alternative would be smashing the glass and housing to pieces, which was the condition when i moved in. So, in that respect, i prefer the absurdity of disconnection.
So thorughout my day, i was thinking about the light. It would seem that someone wants my light out.

They want what makes me shine to be extinguished.
When i was scout leader, a lesson that i enjoyed teaching involved sharing light. If a candle is shared with another, the room gets brighter. In other words, my brightness does not diminish because i light another wick. In fact, the opposite occurs, illuminating the space with greater brilliance.
To sum up, anyone trying to steal my light, should know that i have more within, like the lightbulb that will be put in at dusk again tonight. They are doing nothing but sharing my brillance with others.
