What if a bridge catches fire on both ends?

Ever been on a bridge that catches fire on both ends?

Behind you is a raging cauldron of kramfire -- representing overweening pride, prideful fear and fearful greed -- which threatens to burn fiercer and make you fall to your deaths unless you return to the side of krambyss (kram's hell), which temptingly is but a few small steps of retreat.

Ahead of you is the freshly lit torch of called Splash, also on fire -- representing passion and urgency -- that being left in the windy and icy conditions of the world as we know it, risks being extinguished the longer you take to get to the side of self determination. Getting there takes several unprecedented heart-stopping leaps that will fumble as soon as you look back. Fumbling means falling to your physical and spiritual deaths, of course.

Will you try to sprint to your torch, hold it high, brave the challenges faithfully in unison with your comrades, and turn adversity into opportunities?

Or will you turn back, since the kram side is but a few steps away?

"Stay. Don't stray". My comrade muttered plainly. And on we leaped -- all five of us --towards the torch.
