Our house is already on fire.
I don’t see the need to pour more gasoline on it.
“Our house is already on fire. I don’t see the need to pour more gasoline on it.”
That could be viewed a few ways. WE know the house is on fire, but it isn’t visible from the street yet. Sending some schmuck into the house that doesn’t know how to fight fire properly will probably make things worse in the long run and the house will burn down.
But let the arsonist go back and add some gas to the fire in the kitchen, perhaps - just perhaps, the flames will then be visible from the street for ALL to see, and the firefighters with the proper knowledge and tools can come save the house.
Or the third option is I suppose, to quote Jim Morrison: “I’m gonna get my kicks before the whole sh1xhouse goes up in flames.”
