A bit melodramatic, wouldn't you say? We're out of touch with fire? Are you saying that had negative effects on our culture or something? And you seem to be saying that fire used to be thought of as good and sacred and now is thought of as destructive. That is completely baseless. Fire, like every other force known to man, has always been seen as two-sided.

I said people became out of touch with fire and the stories and experiences around fire. We've more or less lost touch with fire as an inspirational experience, and it seems to me, your words more or less is a great example of it.
