As heard on TV and from whom I don't know. "When the bright lights go on you can shine or you can melt". Can bright lights MELT things?

If you're wearing sparkly clothes you would shine from the bright lights. Or if you were sweating you'd look shiny. But otherwise when does light make anyone "SHINE". So I guess it doesn't make much sense to me altough at first listen it seemed very profound. Is it? What am I missing?

    Yes, bright light creates heat. 

    I have this lamp at home. It is alight and it also a candle warmer. It makes your candles last much longer.

    "Candle warmer"? Never heard of it m2c. Well in thinking about if a lightbulb burns out you have to let it "cool off" before you can touch to remove it. So it does emit heat. Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday to thy! :)

    Bright lights shine the light of truth upon the subject.

    If the light causes your truth to be exposed as a LIE?  You will melt in jail.

    Good old Dave! That is very true! Wise words. Thank you for your reply Sharon and the graphic. I heard yesterday that the SDNY is now treating little donny dingbat et famille as a CRIME FAMILY! Is that hot or what? His troubles have only just begun. What comes next? Riots with gun-wielding true believers? I dunno but nothing surprises me vis a vis his adoring worshippers.

    Do you remember in December when we were salivating for this moment in time?

    IT IS HERE.  Get the popcorn and hang in there.  OUR TIME HAS COME.

    Yes.
    The bulbs emit not just light but heat.
    It's hot enough to sweat, and to melt wax or lard.
    Performers are caked in matt make-up to mop up the sweat and prevent the shine.

    The saying refers to how a person can handle being under the spotlight.
    It's a challenge, especially for those not used to it.
    The saying implies that how you handle it is in some way a choice.
    That's not necessarily so. Personality and the particular circumstances have a huge effect.

    As i'm sure you know,
    light is a metaphor for high level awareness and wisdom in Eastern and Western cultures.
    Moses was said to be "raying" with light as he descended from Mt Sinai after his conversations with God.
    Saints and the messiah are depicted with halos in Christian art, as are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Indian and East Asian art.

    Think of a person who is almost always very aware of everything around them,
    of a person who has practised meditation with dedication every day for most of their adult life,
    of a person who has studied the writings of wise people
    and then discovered the truth of the teachings through practise,
    of a person who lives ethically and practices unconditional kindness...

    they are very rare -- but when you meet them they really do glow with a soft inner light.
    It's the light of happiness and love - which grows naturally as a result of living such a life. This post was edited by inky at March 6, 2019 12:29 PM MST

    Thank you for a very poetic, thoughtful and helpful reply NdP. I am not a spotlight person. Never have been. I like the sidelines where there are shadows to protect you from view. I never wanted to be the actress in front in the camera..but the DIRECTOR? Now that appeals to me bigly. I could NOT politely handle invasion of privacy without my agreeing to it. It's certainly a life I would NOT be comfy with. This post was edited by RosieG at March 6, 2019 12:29 PM MST
