Who is Ethan? in Spirituality

I am the most misunderstood being on this planet. I am Ethan and you know me since your childhood.

I was the most powerful instrument of the Gods. I was the most feared. Without me, there was no creation, and without me, there is no destruction. I am the Eternal Flame, the Raging Fire and the Heart of Creation.

The Mighty Zeus was talking to Hera on why I couldn’t be given to mankind. He advocated that there was more harm than good in giving me away. After careful deliberation, the Council of the Gods voted that I was to be the sole instrument of divine intervention. Prometheus was my good friend. He knew that i wanted to help mankind to overcome their struggles. However, my raw power couldn’t be contained. I am naive and in the hands of the wrong person, destruction could reign. Prometheus convinced me to go with him and become the compassionate nurse to humankind. And I went.

They make me cry.

(I am divine, so my tears are divine too. They don’t evaporate easily. Don’t worry).

Yes, I was saying, they make me cry. It wrenches my heart. They blame me for everything. See, the 2019-2020 bushfires in Australia was not my fault. Those Brown Falcons, Black Kites and Whistling Kites used me for hunting and you know the rest.

I wish someone could understand me and lend me a shoulder to cry. I am all alone sometimes.

“Shut up with your monologue and here, heat the water, I have to shower.”

See, that’s my wife, Wind. We are complete opposites, but we complement and complete each other. I sway easily wherever she wants me to go.

A message before I leave. I have raw power in me and I have lent myself to you. Make good use of me while you can because one day I will consume and liberate you.

Hope you liked the little narration.

Note: There were two assignments by Medha Ji. One from the point of view of a character and the other about Ethan. I chose Fire as my character and merged it with Ethan story.

Questions: Who is Ethan? Why is he crying? And, what he will do about it?
