The Fires that Burn

So let's say there's this thing... And this thing happens annually. Actually, a lot of things happen annually. And for a while, your philosophy has been, well, this might be my last time this year, so I gotta do it.

So let's say there's this thing. And this thing happens annually. Where all the great fires of the world gather and burn time of the most honored tradition... And... Part of you really wants to go, to honor the sacred fire, but part of you doesn't want to go because of a general uncomfort with the world...

Umm, I guess the only thing holding me back is scrounging up the money? But yeah. I'm thinking, if I have the money and if I have the access, the only thing to do really is just go ahead and do it.

What's the worst that could happen?

Actually, the worst that could happen is something that some might say should have happened... But then again, regret is a not too comforting concept. Oh well. Life... Goes on?

It's painful. At least I think so. And I kinda wanna keep it that way? For the sake of some twisted ritualistic respect. Egh... The things I do... I'm weird. But umm... I gotta pay my respects to those who taught me how to live. How to burn time.
