When our brothers and sisters have been consumed, drawn up to the sky in smoke, how can we decide to ignore the flames? No, we do not let them burn alone, we plunge into the fires just as they were forced into them. We face the scalding burns, the pain of being burnt to ashes, because we hate this world that could allow the children to be destroyed. We plunge into the fire not knowing why we must do so and not choosing to do so- we ask why we must be tortured until our life is almost extinguished, until all faith has been ground to dust.
But slowly, the sacrifice becomes clear. We could not ignore the flames, we had to leap into them to become human again. We threw it all away to become men, to know the feeling of the burning flame and the leap of faith needed to take us out. "The flames were burning hot and took us higher," above the dust that we were and above the serpents that had trampled upon our ground.
