The Gecko's Lesson on Perspective

A Malaysian fable highlights the importance of recognizing the value in what may initially seem like an annoyance. In the story, a gecko becomes frustrated with the distracting light of fireflies while hunting for food and requests that their lights be extinguished. However, when the night turns pitch black, the gecko learns that the fireflies' light is essential for navigating the dark. This tale emphasizes how often we overlook the greater purpose of seemingly bothersome elements in our lives, urging us to reconsider and reframe our perceptions.
