That idea comes from the thought that, like people, there are billions of stars, all with there own lights and names. People often for get that god has blessed us with our own light, so let it shine...some...like Moi, (yes i took French for 5 years) have a future so bright i gotta wur shades.....So whether you are a Dwarf(small star) or a Nebula(big star)....go ahead get ya shine on...cause i promise nobody else will do it for you....And anybody who tells you are any less...just say..."Take your hand....Lift it....and smack yourself".
Some people think that at one point a part of every atom in every human being was once a star......If that's true..maybe we're not just looking up...we're looking home....(uummm..now that's something to Lean about.)
