Joined: May 2011 Posts: 287 | May the festival of lights be the harbinger of joy, prosperity and good health. Here's hoping this festival of beauty brings your way, bright sparkles of contentment, that stay with you through the days ahead. Best wishes on Diwali and New year. To Hindus, darkness represents ignorance, and light is a metaphor for knowledge. Light a lamp today to symbolize the destruction of all negative forces, fear, oppression and suffering, etc. through knowledge. Light a lamp for OCF that gives us knowledge to fight cancer. Light a lamp for each victorious day. [img] http://img.funscrape.com/en/happydiwali/1.gif[/img]
