Whats a better metaphor for life?

Question

candle in the wind

or

candle in the snow

Answer 1

i can't figure what the snow represents, so to me candle in the wind is pretty good, because the flame can blow out any time and no matter what if it doesn't it will eventually burn out completely. but wind seems a little strong for that, as though wind would be necessarily strong enough to blow it out. so maybe something milder like candle in the breeze, though it doesn't have quite as nice of a ring to it. or maybe candle in the rain too, if a drop falls on it it's extinguished if not it burns till the end, but that has a little the same problem for me as candle in the wind i guess.

Answer 2

I like candle in the snow better as the spark of life wards off the chill of death until the inevitable cold douses the flame.

Answer 3

Candle in the dark?

Answer 4

Candle in the snow - candle in the wind is very precarious and likely to extinguish at any moment.

A candle in the snow gives warmth where there was just coldness. it has the power to change snow into water thereby helping sustain life and gives light in the darkness.

A candle in the wind represents a life that has no control over it's destiny. A candle in the snow represents the opportunity to use what we are given wisely.

Answer 5

A candle in the snow.

Because I think that the wind is more negative than the snow. It could blow out any second, without having a real purpose. While on the other hand, snow is cold, and a candle hold fire. Fire is life, light and warmth, symbolizing how we can be the guide and comrade of someone, we can give life to someone who feels glum and we can give someone the love they always needed, if we 'use'  ourselves the right way, which is the use for the candle. While a candle can also cause destruction of we don't use it properly, it causes deaths, sorrow, agony and darkness in amidst the hot flames and freezing rain(snow). Symbolizing how we can also be the sorrows and the hate of someone. So snow seems more like it. Oh wait! I forgot to add something. Even if we melt(die) The fire of the candle won't because it will burn forever in the hearts of the people you affected, either darkness or light.
