Money ~ Fire

Money and its relation to fire.

Fire should be your servant, not master.
Money should also serve you, not control.

Never ever, borrow from banks (especially loansharks) if you can help it. The interest rolls over and you become more heavily debted. You'd have to borrow from others to pay off the bank loans, and then work triply doubly hard to earn more money to return people the money. If you are in a situation like this, you've become a slave to money. Scary.
Relation between money and fire?
Just like a snowballing debt, too big a fire becomes uncontrollable and extremely difficult to put out. Soon, all you can think of is how to run away from it (fire/ running away from monetary problems).

Generally, the young do not know the negative aspects of money and fire.
They may spend freely when they have money in their hands, rushing to spend it on a lolly or ice cream. They do not know how hard it is to get the moolah.
When they see matchsticks, they are curious and start striking a few, and in amazement, they watch the stick burst into flames and hear it sizzle & crackle till it fizzles out and burns their little fingers. Some experimental ones start burning things up, the thrill of seeing things melt...

When one suddenly strikes gold, one might become haughty.
The sudden idea of having so much money to spend makes the person feel more important than before. Because, in this materialistic world we live in, money DOES buy you respect (not everyone thinks this way of course).
Money then becomes your servant. You have the money, spend it. But spend wisely.
Relation between money and fire?
When you've got fire under control, you can use it to keep yourself warm, cook food, etc. You have the lighter. Use it well. Turn it on too big, you're in trouble. Turn it on just right, you can get your job done.
