Mystical?

Fire... Mystical? It's all about perspective. Logical thought perhaps is questionable. Consider the attraction to fire. An attraction... something that has been passed down via DNA memory from a time when fire was a basic human need to keep warm and cook meat? Did this deep rooted memory develop into an unconscious mystical attraction passed down today to simply find fire comforting.  A fireplace, a campfire, and something as simple as candles... does watching the flickering flames bring forth those feelings of comfort, peace, contentment, and well-being? There is a connection to not only personal experiences, but those embedded in our DNA memory experienced by our ancestors. Why do candles bring such a comfortable feeling? The color orange holds a mystical attraction. Perhaps because the flames of fire are indeed the color orange? 
In any event, without giving it any additional thought, mostly everyone enjoys the flames from candles, even if we never realize or question why. Mystical?  Well, something is there. Why? Again, all a matter of perception conflicting with logical thought, which negates anything that can not be science fact. But the world is filled with many things that are not science fact, and nevertheless exists. And should not dismissed or discounted. But Perhaps simply enjoyed.
