What does one do when he has the urge .. no... the need to make a difference, but lacks the means or understanding to do so? What of that flame that burns brightly within, but has no means of manifestation? Does it burn up till it consumes him, or does it fuel his passion eternally? Does it grow dim over the years, or does it evolve into an unstoppable inferno? Does the flame feast on the flesh, or does it consume the soul? What does one do to change all the things he wants to, but cannot comprehend...
Strength is not power, for the flame has the strength to consume, but is powerless without a way out. What is strength without the comprehension of life, and the understanding of one's self? At least enough of an understand to be able to comprehend the forces at work, if that's even possible. But then again, what is the flame without its wild and untamed ways - is it still a flame when harnessed, or is it reduced to a shackled spark?
Does one of the two - the flame or the mind - always need to succumb to the other? What happens when the body gives in to the flame? Does it get burned by it, or does it become a part, a vessel of the flame itself? Or maybe the answer is a bit of both? What happens when the flame is repressed by the mind? Does the flame succumb after a fight, or does it burn the being so bad that they refuse to acknowledge the flame, and are imprisoned to an unfulfilled existence?
What are answers, if not but roads to new questions? Do answers even exist or are they just the equivalent of making peace with the limited scope of one's understanding? If that's the case, is there even a way to to find the means to comprehend that which one wishes to change; at least understand it enough to make a difference, in spite of the handicap of a limited mind?
