It is useless to live on burned ruins.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you burn your neighbors house down, it doesn't make your house look any better.
We shall not have succeeded in demolishing everything unless we demolish the ruins as well. But the only way I can see of doing that is to use them to put up a lot of fine, well-designed buildings.
A useless life is an early death.
It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice.
I have never advised the destruction of life, but of property, yes.
There is hardly a place on Earth where people do not log, pave, spray, drain, flood, graze, fish, plow, burn, drill, spill or dump. There is no life zone, with the possible exception of the deep ocean, that we are not degrading.
The ability to reach a catastrophic forest fire quickly can not only save millions in fire suppression costs, it can save structures and, most importantly, lives.
If your house is burning, wouldn't you try and put out the fire?
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Life is wasted on the living.
