Playing with Fire

Fire, like any other divine gift, must be respected.  Otherwise, folks will surely get burned.

This tragically occurred regarding Iran’s “annual fire festival,” a ritual which celebrates the upcoming New Year of Nowruz.  Ten people died and hundreds of others were injured by the improper use of firecrackers.  Many of these victims were still in their teens.

Fire can foster life or death.  It therefore behooves us all to steward it carefully.
