The concept of a lighthouse has some magic to it. A lighthouse shows the way to safety, standing strong even in the worst thunderstorm. At every age, we all believe that we have figured out the way, no lighthouse needed. As kids, as teenagers, as adults. We all think that we know what we are doing. And to some extent, that makes a lot of sense. It would be devastating to live without believing that one knows the way, even if that is inherently a lie. The key is to be aware that it is a lie. A necessary white lie. And when one inevitably gets lost, fortunately the lighthouse is still there, where lighthouse is just a synonym for any other lost human being.
