All the birds took their shape from the fire. Thought also has its origin in fire. Tongues of fire speak words as cold and exact as the warmest truth that lips can hold. Remember that words can create the universe again. Every time you feel confused, contemplate the fire and give it your mind.

The quote suggests that both the natural world and the process of thought are deeply intertwined with fire. It implies that fire is a transformative element, shaping not only physical forms like birds but also the very essence of thoughts and words. The imagery of tongues of fire communicating truth highlights the power that language holds in constructing reality.

The idea that words have the capability to recreate the universe signifies their immense potential. In times of confusion, the author encourages reflection on fire, as it can serve as a source of clarity and inspiration, allowing one's mind to engage with deeper insights and understanding.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
