Why people can stare at fire for hours?

It is because of the ultraviolet rays it emits.
They're good for you so we tend to soak them up like in a sunrise or sunset.

When we use to go camping, a bunch of us would sit around the fire talking and having a beer. How the time flew by.

I should have said infrared light. Supposedly soaking in a sunrise can protect you later in the day FROM UV rays. Sorry.

Men like fire because......Fire has the power to destroy, we men are fascinated by destruction.

Its Primeval... it means "safety". The "carrier of the fire" or - "firebearer"...whose job it was to keep and carry a small fire lit all the time, when the tribe moved, in order to have warmth and safety from the wild animals, like the cave lions. Lightening enabled them to first discover fire and the uses for it.

The fire pit was a gathering place for all of my family, even the dog would hang out nearby. The strangest thing I ever saw was a snake that tried to escape the dog and ended up in the coals albeit briefly. He ended up getting away after all of that. It might have been The Devil. Yikes!

It's relaxing in the evening to sit by the fireplace with a cup of tea or coffee. Hot cocoa in the winter months.

I don't know. Fire scares me. I never used the fireplace in that house I owned. I want a fake fireplace or stove someday. I'd take that. I do think it's comforting to look at. As long as it's not real in my home.

Why not? Young people stare 16 hours into their phones and no one seems to care.
