Have you tried lighting a match before? There's nothing as determined as a lighted match. The moment it kisses the paper match, there's only one thing it wants to do then, it wants to burn.
No matter how small the match stick is, it will burn to the last match. In that moment, it reigns supreme, no breeze or wind can put it out. It just wants to burn.
It keeps burning the sulphur until it has burned to the very last.
A match stick needs a match to burn. On its own its just a match stick, but when it comes together with the paper match, it creates something new, something that was never there, something with a lot of potentials...... A flame.
We are all matchsticks. Striking the paper match is our choice to make. If we do; the flame is our potential!
