How to stop a fire

Don't throw water at it

This solution is temporary

Instead,

I would like you to try to understand the fire

Feel it within you

Love it

Cherish it

Admire the burning flames

Watch things fall into disarray at a distance

Meanwhile,

You know that it is temporary

You know that the fire does not have that much power over you

When you just look at it

Because soon

The flames will turn to ashes

The ashes to dust

And then you are left with nothing

And nothing is what?

The beginning of everything
