"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the single candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared"
Today is my 18th birthday. As I watched my mother light the candles, I remembered this saying, supposedly originating from Buddhist teachings. It's amazing the way light is so contagious. Sometimes it can be scary, but in this perspective, watching the fire illuminate my birthday cake, it's beautiful.
Today is my birthday and for that, I am happy. But every day is a reason to be happy.
We only live so long. Be happy. Share your happiness.
...the life of a single candle will not be shortened...
