Living works like a candle, says Kaleel Jamison in The Nibble Theory and the Kernel of Power.  As we journey through life, by lighting another person's candle there isn't less light because you have given some away--there is more.  When one is forced to walk primarily alone through life, one soon learns that each candle light that was shared will expand your world, continue your growth, and bring understanding that whereas you may be humanly able to walk through life alone, you cannot walk spiritually alone because God loves you too much to abandon you if you love and seek Him.  As you move higher on your new Spiritual walk, and as God's Word in Ephesian 5:8 indicates, children of light;   "Are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light."  When one is infilled with God's spirit, a selfish life will end and a new selfless Spiritual life begins  for children of light.  

Life circumstances can lead one to live in the pains of the past, resulting in psychologically debilitating inner angers against  life circumstances  and against persons involved in causing those circumstances.  During life's journey of moving higher one soon realize, as Psychologist James M. Cloud reminds us in The Healthscription, that anger like all emotions is not what happens to us, but the result of our thinking, which is a choice that becomes a habit, a habit that can produce diseases such as hypertension, ulcers, rashes, heart palpitations, insomnia, fatigue, heart disease, and even break downs in love relationships.
