Diminishings

Sometimes it’s hard to remember that one candle doesn’t lose any light when it lights another. Especially when that first candle is giving all it can to just put out the light it has. Maybe it’s been through a tough week and it’s really pushing for that little bit of light, that little combustion reaction that everyone so oohs and aahs over, the thing that makes it…well, it. And then you have this other candle come along and try to encroach on that light and well, it’s not always clear that not only will nothing be diminished, but if they are together the two candles will actually burn brighter than if they were separate. That’s probably a science fact.

Anyway, the point is that sometimes you need your own space, like from say water. And other times you have no idea what you’re talking about. The trick in life is to figure out which is which.
