If your goal is to spread the message of freedom, every now and then you might get a chance to have an in-depth discussion with someone willing to talk, and think. But what about all the hundreds of times when you have only a minute, or fifteen seconds, with some stranger? Is there anything you could do or say, that would do any good? Well, you could blurt out, "All government is illegitimate and immoral!" But the likelihood of that doing any good is basically zero.

So what is a voluntaryist to do? Just quietly allow the rest of the world to advocate their own subjugation?

"Tiny Candles" explains how to use some of the methods taught in "Candles in the Dark," along with other tricks and tactics, to try to plant seeds of thought even in situations where a substantive discussion is impossible. This might be with some stranger you briefly meet and never expect to see again, or some acquaintance you see now and then, but never really talk to much, or some random person commenting on social media about something.

If you assume that it's futile saying anything at all in such situations, or if you're frustrated that the things you try in such situations never seem to do any good, "Tiny Candles" can be of help!
