We the Fire

The fire of people only illuminates the ugliness of their soul. Perhaps why the devil makes it his home.

The souls in hell do not suffer in the flames. They are that which creates the glowing red lake of fire.

The light you see in a persons eyes is that which holds back the blackness in which we reside. But is your bright too slight to contain your dark? Will your fire be yet another spark in the endless lake of all that ever did wrong? All that ever killed? All that ever tormented? All those whose fire consumed that which was once a soul? But now only exists as the fire in the place we call hell. A

re we hell bound? Or are we hell? Are we not that which creates the illusion that such a place exists? Are the good not that which heaven is made of?

We are heaven and hell. People I mean. The good, the bad and the ugly. The righteous. The greedy. The harmless. The lethal. The stuck. And yet in the end exists one fate. The one we either hide from, welcome or in some cases can only beg for.

I think you know what I mean. But if it is our ticket away from both heaven and hell, answer me this.. Is existing as nothing not better than existing as none but a belief we kill over? The idea of right and wrong. The concept of good versus evil. The platform on which war is founded. God versus the devil. Me versus you. Or do we take on the world as one? But in the end you gotta wonder...

Is hell winning?

I'm an athiest, and this is essentially what I believe. Afterall...

"We are oft to blame, in this t'is too much proved, that with devotions visage, and pious action, we do sugar o'er the Devil himself")- William Shakespeare. 

So much heart in that. And so true. If you don't know what it means look it up.

Well, yeah, but I'll take a pill on that one.

the fire is not the problem often angry and bitter people don't hurt anyone but themselves. It's the inhuman dead without fire that do this because they are hungry. The bad devil tricks. The Good God reveals truth. The devil takes away your belief convincing you that you have no choice forcing you into a corner God gives you the choice and self determination psychology or spiritual is irrelevant the idea remains unchanged. Thanks for the food for thought. I was actually hungry. Cheers SS
