how many times do you have to get burned before you learn to stop putting your hand on the stove?
you see many eyes on the stove and you think they can't all be hot.
so you test one.
you test two.
you test three.
each time you test you see something different than the last one. but yet each time you are burned.
maybe someday it won't burn, you think to yourself.
and you test the forth.
and the forth seems cool but suddenly your body shakes with the sizzle that runs through your fingers and you have a pain that is richer than the others. for before, the others had excuses. and what is the forth eye's excuse? he was just a stove eye, just like the others, and it was in his nature.
when do you learn that you will never be the same temperature as the eyes? do you have to touch more stove tops? it is in your nature to learn and grow. as it is in their nature to be hot. and so must it be that your nature is also to get burned?
