There just so happens to be a fire chasing every one of us. This fire is terrifying, and consuming everything we throw at it to try and suppress it. All of our books, and water, and food, and clothes, and dignities, and personalities, and lives. To outlive the fire, it's best not to throw everything at it. Instead hold on to what we hold dear and makes us who we are, and this fire will not consume us. And only then can we appreciate the fire for what it is, and feed it accordingly.
