About this Quote

This quote is a metaphor for the sensation of being trapped and not able to reveal oneself. It recommends that the speaker is feeling disappointed with the society they reside in, and is unable to do anything about it. The metaphor of a pyromaniac in a scared forest indicates that the speaker is somebody who is enthusiastic and has a desire to make a modification, but is not able to do so due to the absence of opportunity or resources. The quote implies that the speaker is feeling powerless and not able to make a difference on the planet. It is a powerful declaration that speaks to the sensation of being stuck in a circumstance that a person can not control. It is a reminder that even when we feel helpless, we can still make every effort to make a distinction in our own lives and in the lives of those around us.
