We've all surely heard the expression "fight fire with fire"? And if you do, it should be known that fighting fire with fire is never really a good thing. Because the message behind the expression is you're responding to something by using the same method (e.g.: someone mostly ignores you for days on end and you respond by ignoring them until they get the message).
But then again, sometimes a little fire never hurt. Because after an extensive Google search, I found out that fire is literally used to fight fire (forest debris that could aid forest fires is burnt to prevent extensive damage later on).
Somehow it seems more practical to fight fire with water. The message behind that is to respond to something with a cool and reasonably balanced approach (e.g.: someone mostly ignores you for days on end and you respond by continuing on with life as normal). But what if there's something that keeps the fire burning, no matter how much water is spilt over the situation??
Then sometimes you have to take the "karma" approach and fight fire with fire.
Whatever you do, never resort to fighting fire with kerosene.
"Fight fire with kerosene" is not an expression one hears normally, because expressions like that are stupid. The message behind that sheep dropping of wisdom is that you respond to something by making it worse and bigger (e.g.: someone mostly ignores you for days on end and you respond by setting them on fire).
It's going to take a lot of water to sort that problem out. But you'll have been burnt in the process and that's just a little bit sucky... Especially if they're third degree burns.
That's just my thoughts on fire. You can fight it with water, fire or kerosene, but if you know that there's a fire with potential to escalate in size before it eventually dies, it's important to fight it now in a manner that is right.

PS: I was cleaning my bedroom floor and I found something odd. It was all dry and I thought for a second it was a caterpillar or a demon skeleton (???) but upon further forensic analysis, it turns out that it's just a dead gecko.
Perhaps it's just me that thinks it'll be great to bring in for show and tell tomorrow at school.....
