Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
G: For my part, I say that the world will end in ice. Because I make sure that nobody else in the world has experienced the extreme coldness in heart than me. If they know about my story, they will agree with me. Fire and Ice is such a short but meaningful poem! Thank you for your wonderful analysis! Yeah, desire and hate are equally 2 powerful and destructive elements! But just as my previous comment said, your channel is a treasure-trove for me. I even feel that my frozen heart has began to be melted by your passion and profound knowledge little by little. Maybe you can't imagine how I watched your videos greedily! I love your speeches! Such as "the dance with the vicissitudes of life", "the principle of enantidromia", as well as "Wilde's theory on pleasure and morality" etc. And I am deeply moved by your words: "You know sometimes the beauty is not outside, it is inside that counts. It is the beauty that is radiating forth from within that enlivens and beautifies the outside world. So carry that torch everywhere with you. Let your beauty shine." Pitifully my torch inside has been snuffed completely by the ice outside in a long time...Now I am so glad that I have found your channel, trying my best to warm myself from you! Yeah, I want to swim in pleasure again... Your channel deserves lots of suscribers from all over the world ! You are such a charming and bright star! I am your loyal fan!
R: Gina, your recent comments on my channel have invigorated and warmed me greatly so please know that your fire (at least from my perspective) is alive and kicking. But I do understand what it's like to not feel that and to be surrounded by ice. There was a time when I thought that my fire was snuffed for good but like you I detected an ember still alive and desiring to be nurtured. I think it's when we follow that inner spark that we begin to live again and the world outside takes on brighter hues where once it was cold and grey. In any case, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and truly glad to get to know you.
G: I am so happy to know that you are glad to get to know me. Thank you for your poetic language to try to comfort me so much. It seems that I have known about you for a long time by watching your videos. You are sugh a sincere and knowledgeable American scholar and you have a unique rich experience. I can't wait to get acquainted with you since your videos can help a hopeless person surrounded by ice for so many years! Yeah, that person is nothing but me! I am just like a patient who has a rare illness for a long time and finally detect a doctor who happens to be an expert on curing it who is just you. Yeah, I am asking for help from you, at the same time I am also rather timid. After all, I have been in despair and helpless too long, long! So please pardon me to give a reply to you so late... If you don't mind, please allow me to tell you about my personal story. Although you haven't known about me completely till now, except some comments I wrote on your videos, I pray you can feel my sincerity and genuine attitude by your intuition. Thank you for your kindness and inspiration again!
