This simple quote comes to us when Pinocchio has found a little flame on top of a burning candle that ignites his index finger because he is made of wood.
Have you ever looked at something and thought it was pretty? Did it fill you with happiness and joy or did you look at it with an appreciation but felt nothing stronger? Were you the only one that thought it was pretty?
Sometimes the most prettiest things are the most simplest looking. Take the flame of a candle for instance. Its flame is that of shades of oranges and reds that dance with heat atop a white cotton wick that is set within the candle made of wax which can be a simple white wax, like in Pinocchio, or it could be more elaborate, like a carved candle that shows a multitude of different colored waxes inside. As the dancing flame melts the wax, the wax then drips down the sides of the candle until there is nothing more of the candle but the little silver stand that the wick was on, unless if it's a jarred candle, which it makes a little indentation until all of the wax has melted revealing that little silver wick-stand. Some may see it is just a candle or a source of light and nothing more. Others can look at it with an appreciation of the work that went into making a candle because it takes a lot of patience to make a candle, especially one that is hand-dipped.
Life is full of the prettiest of things if we just know how to look at them. They say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" which is kind of true. What one person may find beautiful, another person might not. That's okay. We know what we like and what we find pretty or beautiful, likewise what we don't.
So until next time don't forget to take the time to appreciate the pretty things you see in life and Keep Cooking with Character!
