Man On Fire

A man should clash with his limits, many times a day.

He should live on the edge of his capacities, dangerously and recklessly.

A man should live like he’s about to be murdered and he’s approaching his last deed, his last word, his final moments.

A man should walk as if on a battlefield, on point for his brothers, pushing into enemy territory.

He should use everything in his life to create a living, bloodied artwork, full of passion, horror and awe.

Either that, or he should kill himself. By kill himself, I do NOT mean literally, but metaphorically and symbolically.

If a man is not on fire and setting fire to all around him, he should find a way to symbolically light his own funeral pyre and lay down upon it so that he may be reborn.
