A single spark can set the mind of a crowd alight, but whether it’s a moral beacon or a cunning ploy depends on the intent that follows it. When a leader speaks with genuine conviction, the spark becomes a shared aspiration, guiding actions toward a common good. Yet if the same flame is lit only to manipulate emotions, it risks becoming a mere spectacle, leaving the crowd adrift in empty admiration. So the true measure lies not in the brilliance of the spark itself but in the substance that it illuminates.

Indeed, the firework’s beauty is only worth its place if it also charts a path for the observers, not merely fills the sky with glitter.
