I enjoy watching a burning candle because it makes me think of life. Its flame is never still: although one moment it seems motionless, the next it suddenly leaps up, then it bends down, then up again and so on. Sometimes it burns straight, other times it swings left and right, even if there is no draft, with no apparent pattern. Isn't your life something similar? "Up" moments followed by "down" moments, first you feel happy, then a feeling of sadness and dissatisfaction creeps in. Things go well, then they take a negative turn, but later they switch back to being favorable. You never know what to expect because life means facing the unknown, day after day. What do you need? Just trust, confidence and enthusiasm. A last observation. Have you noticed that a candle unexpectedly regains strength and brightness just before it is exhausted and goes out? Could that mean that growing older brings along greater capabilities, wisdom and understanding? Does the modern world believe it and behaves accordingly?
