Best Answer

Fire affects human beings in different ways. For us, fire is vital at the same time a danger.

Vitalities of Fire

Since the beginning of human life, fire has been a peculiar thing. Early humans learned it can be dangerous and figured out it could be used for cooking food, heat, and light. Now, we have evolved to learn more dangers and more uses for fire. To this day, we use fire for cooking food, for heat, and for light.

Dangers of Fire

Fire has been vital for human life and evolution. It has also been a dangerous thing. Fire causes burns and it has the capabilities to destroy houses, wildlife, and other buildings.

In a nutshell so to speak, fire causes many injuries and casualties, yet at the same time helps us survive!

However: It also inspired someone from The Moody Blues to write:

"Blasting, bursting, billowing forth-

With the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes,

Man, with his blazing pyre..."

~The song is titled "Higher and higher", I believe...
