"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared"-Buddha
This quote is one that I really liked because it made me think about it really hard and made me try to figure the perfect interpretation of it and also I like it because it's a monk saying and I like things like that. Ever since I have watched shows that have wise monks or in my perspective wise fighters of evil who seem like the Buddha and I loved to hear the sayings the monk would say villainous that sometimes changed their ways. Like the saying of the great Buddha, he changes someone's heart with his strong character which can then change the hearts of many which will then eventually bring him happiness. This to me means that one person can keep a legacy that everyone integrates into their lives which will keep the person of the legacy alive even after death and the happiness does not die down when shared, but rather it increases when it is shared. Honestly, to me this quote kind of inspires me to leave my own legacy one day or to begin one now and get people to maybe integrate it into their daily life. In a way, the legacy that I want to leave is basically just to get the message that the past never truly disappears and that we should cherish it no matter what through people because people are beginning to lose sight of it. Now I really appreciate this quote because now I really want to work hard into making my legacy a reality. This quote like any other quote that I have talked about is associated with the IB profile. The main part of the profile that I think that really associates with the quote is in a sense caring and principled because when things that people ignite a fire to people that follow their beliefs and at times the person who ignited the fire tends to care of the people and what they will do with their new beliefs. Being principled also associates with the quote because like my example of the ignited fire of a person can help make him/herself principled, but also help others find their own morality and sometimes doing this can help construct a good path for many people.
