Why stars shine...

Long ago the sun was very proud of its Light, so proud in fact that it bragged and bragged about its glorious rays and brillance until everything else around it wanted to spend no time with it. As a result the Moon, a much more humble entity became very popular. Stars and planets spent more time with the Moon than with sun. For a long time the Sun never noticed because it was so full of its own radiance, but eventually nobody was around for the Sun to brag to, and the Sun began to sink. The Moon is a kindly soul, and felt pity for the oft-arrogant Sun, knowing in truth that Sun was just another Star that simply thought too much of itself. As a result the Moon began making trips out to Sun during the day, Eclipses!! Now when the stars saw this they began to worry that both the Moon and the Sun would become arrogant and leave them out by themselves in the vastness of space. Stars unfortunately do not understand the complexities of love, they only grasp Shining, Radiance, and Brightness. so the Stars did the only thing they knew how to do best, Shine. And they continue to shine for fear that the Moon will leave them for the Sun. The Moon is a wise old rock, he is aware of the Stars envy and the Suns arrogance, but there is one other thing He knows of, He knows of me and you.
