Answer:
Answer in explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
when someone is a candle they would be giving out light-- However
when someone is a mirror they take that light and project it,
the meaning isn't fully clear but if we apply this to our lives it makes more sense;
there are two ways to spread 'light' or 'positivity' to put it simply, you can be the person that emits that energy, or someone who learns from that energy and reflects positivity onto others too.
The quote isn't 'downplaying' either but instead tells us that there is more than one way to spread light and positivity, I hope this is clear!
