Self- realization is not the main thrust of fantasy in fire on the mountain; rather it is used in<br />

an entirely different way. It is not used as an escape route, it also doesn’t border on hallucination.<br />

Human existence is never safe, and never at the mercy of chance, and it can not escape the truth<br />

that is death. Therefore, in brief, it is absurd, futile and meaningless.<br />
