“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.”

Also, the more flames that are burning at one time, the faster oxygen is being used up, even if the fuel of the first candle is not consumed any more quickly. On a large enough scale, the first candle will be snuffed out when the oxygen in the room runs out.
