What the Sun said to Mercury

As the sun looked back at the solar system, he saw all the 8 planets well lit by his sun rays. He said to his friend Mercury close by, "What a marvelous sight this is! Every planet is nice and happy, not being haunted by any dark shadows that may bring misery to their well being." Mercury replied, "I'm happy to see that you are able to judge the happiness of all these planets. But, there is one thing you may not see, and will probably never see, the planets' shadows. All the planets have shadows, even me. You have influenced us by your rays, but these rays can only illuminate some of the shadow, that is the part which you can see, But there is always the dark side of the planet which is not influenced by your rays, which you can't see."
All of us have problems. We all help each other to get rid of our problems, influence them just like the sun does with his rays. We can deal with others problems only if we can see them. But, we can't see some of the others' problems, just like the sun couldn't see the shadows. That is where we get deceived, our friend might be looking as happy as ever, but inside he might be hiding something he knows you won't understand. Even if he tried hard explaining to you the problem, you might not get at all what he's trying to say. It would be like the sun is trying to see the shadow of Earth, no matter how hard he tries, he just can't. That is where the Earth is left with another choice, if his dear friend the sun can't help him, he could go to any of the many other stars in the galaxy, which might be able to illuminate just what the sun couldn't.
*A sunny day going to volleyball practice with two of my friends came a thought ~ If the sun had eyes.... he wouldn't be able to see even a single shadow.*
