Chapter 22

THIRD PERSON POV

Don't play with fire or else you'll get burned.

It is a simple warning we often heard even when we were still younger.

To not do things that will obviously bring you harm.

To keep distance from things that can hurt you.

To not be risky and reckless in our decisions and actions.

But deep in our thoughts, we counter it by thinking, "We can play with it as long as we know how to and to not get ourselves burned, right?"

But why are we that attracted to its burning flames?

Maybe, because just like anything, fire is not always about danger.

Like how we rely on its warmth in the cold.

Like how we rely on its protection in the wild.

Like how we rely on its light in the darkness.

Like how we rely on its use to survive.

Fire

Symbolizing passion and desire.

Passion and desire that start with a small flicker when ignited, and can consume you when uncontrolled.

Fire

Symbolizing progress, as the begining of civilization.

Symbolizing destruction, a prelude to an extinction.

And Fire

Symbolizing love.

Aren't they too similar and familiar with one another?

Like how love can be dangerous.

Like how love can be risky.

Like how love can be painful.

Like how love can consume you and destroy you.

Like no matter how multiple warnings we receive from others and even from ourselves, and how we see how it leaves ruins after it burns..

We cannot help but be enticed to the idea of having it, getting it, and giving it even if we got burned so many times.

But why?

Because love- just like fire, we need it to survive.

That no matter how ugly it can be after it hurts you, it's still beautiful.

That even if it puts you to torment, you can't just simply walk away from it and totally forget it.

It'll eventually be rekindled. Maybe with the same person or with a new one.

Like how fire can be played with precaution, love can be pursued rightfully. 

We may get a few burns in the beginning, but eventually we'll learn how to control the flame. And enjoy the warmth it gives and appreciate the life that flourishes from it.

No matter how risky it can be, we still need it..

Need it to survive.

Thanks to its many forms we can live with it. Live by it. Live for it.
