I found myself looking around me at hollow faces, and wondering if this is it, if every heart on this earth has been stained. But then, when I look into our hearts, I see we&#039;re all like candles with beauty inside, masked behind wax, hardened by the pain we all must face. But when one of us begins to burn with compassion, our fragrance fills the air, and we unconsciously ignite others around us. I find that the wax melts, and that is our core, our beauty, our light that remains. Slowly we&#039;ll burn one by one, till the day we reach the end of our sticks and we&#039;re all burning with compassion. So maybe we all have to be set alight.- Percy Jackson, Wolf&#039;s Law Chapter 23.
