The Broken Pot (Part One)

Please picture this: 
There are two pots, and they’re both made of clay. 
One of them stands strong and firm, with no leaks or broken seams. Its color has not faded and from every angle, it seems sturdy and reliable.The other has cracks, and a decent-sized hole in one side. It’s broken and a little bit wilted, and kind of sad to look at. 

Now, put a lit candle in each, and place them in a dark room.
Which one sheds the most light?

I’ll write more on this later, and in the mean time, maybe it will give you something to think about.
