The Burn - A Story in Fire

Unconsciously gathering the source can create a great explosion. Like the smoke, humans and even the nation of Germany are in search of nutrients. The smoke is searching for oxygen to ignite its spark. Humans and Germany are in quest for knowledge and understanding to better the world. .
             The second section is "Fire." As the smoke gathered enough nutrients to build a huge fire, humans in their search have come to a tremendous obstacle that creates a fire within their lives, a fire that can make or break their lives. The fire that Germany created is a fire too big to be ignored. This is the fire of World War II and the Holocaust. This is the destruction that one ambitious man started. It is the wildfire of civilization and peace. It is the wildfire that made Germans infamous to the whole world. A country that sprouted healthy and grew beautifully is in grounds for the mistake of one Adolf Hitler. The fire is merely advising humans and the world of the dangers of too much knowledge. The fire in its burning glory shoves Germany to the edge of despair. But this is not only what the fire contributed. The fire is the peak of living and passion. The fire illuminates the vicinity as the peak of civilization flourishes. Discoveries and inventions were coming out every day. And humans are burning with passion to the things they discovered and deeply love. Fire is the metaphor for love and convictions. This stage is the door to greater things. The era of fire is the harmonious existence of life and death: death for the destruction it has put upon the lives of people falling in the abyss of torment and the country of Germany in its turmoil. Despite the wrath of fate, there is unearthing. Realization that has the power to stupor the death toll. Each individual recognizes life in its importance and purpose. Humans live life to the fullest of their ability. Germany is enlightened by the possibility of true progress and change.
