Well, I like to watch flames from candles (the 6th figure, middle-right one) partly because it’s the closest I get to see the untamed manifestation of primordial forces (particularly the Dark Mother Goddess Lilith), partly because it’s the closest to feeling my ontological wrath externalized, and also because it’s a personal Memento Mori about my will to be cremated when I die (even though it’s high unlikely I’m going to be cremated, it’s still a Memento Mori nevertheless insofar my bones will eventually get to be burnt by a Giant Red Sun billions of years from now).
However, just like the flames are fleeting, so is any kind of happiness/wellbeing stemming from watching it (and given how it’s something far from being environmentally friendly, I avoid doing it so often).

All hail our dark goddess Lilith may those who harm her die screaming
