Illuminating the dark

Image
Two candles lay side by side. One had never been lit, while the other was already half-burned, its sides streaked with frozen, tear-like tracks of wax from every time it had flickered in the dark. The unlit candle looked down at her companion rather proudly and said: "Every single evening, you come back smaller than before. You’ll never actually get to enjoy life this way — your entire body is just melting away into nothing." The half-burned candle smiled softly and replied, "Yes, I know.
