Consuming life

I just enjoyed an enlivened discussion with my wife.  One of the focal points in our conversation focused around the candles by which we ate. 

Although both candles were roughly the same height when we began dinner, one burned much more emphatically than the other.  The traits I noticed though centered around how the faster burning candle spread out more than the traditional, ridigid one. 

The faster burning candle was brighter, spread its warmth and coverage more, and at one point built a wax column above th flame, as if the focal point was what it left as an imprint.  The other candle, while consistent, was non-descript in its action. 

So at the end of the day, which candle would you rather be and have reflect your life?
