Volcano: The Vulcan God of fire

Someone's said they had quite a fascination with Volcanoes. What probably could be amusing about something that erupts fire?? Well to my amusement there are multifarious facts. We know the volcano symbolizes destruction but what we don't know is that it also represents life. Which means freedom from suffering. It's paradoxical how volcanoes have those elements in them. What one found to be destructive is also the basis of life for others. You might not be aware but many people live close to volcanoes because geothermal energy can be harnessed by using the steam from underground. Countries such as New Zealand and Ice land use this method to generate electricity. It also provides rich fertile land to farmers for growing crops. Despite its all advantages what I found alluring is the lesson it lefts us. If we keep suppressing ourselves and confide all our feelings within us then. Over a period of time, it gradually builds into something that would be difficult even for us to get control over. Just like a volcano it would erupt and all we know would be when did it all start but we wouldn't know when and how it will be stopped.
