It's the philosophy of sharing flames among candles. someone else copying the flame does not make you colder. No matter how much brighter another candle burns.

But with that said: I think it's time we figure out how to exclude the metaphorical arsonists.

With the expectation that they go on to share it with other candles, not with the expectation that they hoard all of the fire they collect for themselves
