You Have To Carry The Fire

Cormac McCarthy’s The Road is a bleak post-apocalyptic novel that follows a man and his son on their perilous journey through a desolate landscape. We at CarryTheFire.World believe that McCarthy’s novel serves as a cautionary tale about what humanity might be faced with at any given moment. We believe that The Road’s complex ideas demand careful consideration from society.

What does it mean to “carry the fire”? It’s a mantra, a way of life. To carry the fire is to maintain hope in a hopeless world and preserve the light of humanity. One must act in accordance with the virtues that were once commonplace throughout the world’s cultures.
