It's the philosophy of sharing flames among candles. someone else copying the flame does not make you colder. No matter how much brighter another candle burns.

But with that said: I think it's time we figure out how to exclude the metaphorical arsonists.

- altruios 5mo ago> With the expectation that they go on to share it with other candles Actually, for me at least, the expectation is merely 'do not mess with my flame, you will not stop me from sharing'. Hoarding is fine (it's not great). Burning down everything around you using borrowed flame, however, is not.
