You don't need light around other light.

14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16

Um, so why would you need light, unless there was darkness? The darker it is, the more noticeable the light. The more brilliant it shines. The more people are drawn to it.

You don't need a flashlight when your walking to your car in the morning. You don't need to find your way unless you are in the dark. And with the light, others can see too. So much is illuminated. It can't help but be.

You don't have to be a weird, annoying, know-it-all Christian. If your light shines in the darkness, people will see it.
