Symbolism

I love candles and candle wax shapes but to be bluntly honest with you the only thing I can see that this is symbolic of is menstruation. I am so, so sorry.

@Antarctic Termite

Good. That was precisely my intention.

Actually it wasn't.

All things come to an end?

Sometimes the fire burns you up from within leaving the outside untouched, and you hollow and empty until one day the façade you show to the world falls away to expose the blackened stump of your soul?

There's also theory that tells us that by aging we actually burn slowly. Something with dyoxide in the air.

It's clearly water. Everyone that ever drank water died.

[KaiserAuto]

No, it has to be oxygen.

[Smink]

Oxygen. If gen is generation. What the fuck is Oxy?

Stupid question.

[Antarctic Termite]

@Smink Google tells me that Oxy- derives from a Greed word for acridity or sharpness of taste, which actually parallels nicely to the Afrikaans word for the element. 'Suurstof', sour dust.

It looks like early chemists mistook the key element in acids to be Oxygen as opposed to Hydrogen, and named accordingly.

[Smink]

Or perhaps Oxygen was the god of life.

You're a fucking pleb that doesn't make sure your candle burns evenly?
