The Five Elements of FIRE
Fire rises and inspirits. Like the sun extending its rays over the world, Fire denotes the exercise of authority and corresponds to systems of government and management. Because it glows and radiates, Fire corresponds to public appearances and beauty. Because Fire is warm, it corresponds to all that inspires happiness. Fire is entirely dependent on a host in order to exist. Fire clings. As such it corresponds to dependence and compliance, and our common need for a harmonious society. Fire is elusive. It vanishes into thin air, so it corresponds to all that is glamorous. Fire, because it is hot, also corresponds to open dialogues, public debates, contests, and wars.
