Quote of the day by Whoopi Goldberg focuses on the role people can play in helping others during difficult periods. Goldberg said, “We’re here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark.” The quote connects purpose with helping other people. It suggests that people do not have to make major changes to help someone. A small act, a kind word, useful advice or shared experience can give another person direction. The reference to “little torches” presents help as a source of light. The “dark” can represent hardship, confusion, despair or a lack of knowledge. In this sense, people can help one another find a way forward.
