Heat

By: Andrew – Raffles

All living things in this world owe their lives to the heat that is generated by the Earth as well as Sun. Without it, all living creatures shall perish from the surface of the planet. Heat is, indeed, powerful and beneficial for the continuation of life. However, the element of heat has many other useful traits than just to support life. 

People from all around the world perceive heat as a crucial part of their lives. They welcome heat not only as a way to live but also to enjoy many comforts in life. However, on some occasions, there are events when heat becomes the aspect that causes illnesses as well as tragic deaths. The element of heat is indeed powerful, but it is still an integral part of life that must be cherished. 

One of the main sources of heat is from the Earth’s core, and it is called geothermal energy. It is usually manifested in volcanoes as well as geysers throughout the world. There are some areas in this world that generated much heat energy from the Earth. An example would be the ring of fire in Asia, where there are countless active volcanoes, either above the sea or deep within it. Such heat energy would then be converted into electricity, making it to be the world’s clean and renewable energy that would be extremely useful for the sustainability of mankind. 

Heat would also provide countless possibilities to expand creativity. There are many art projects in the whole world that rely on heat and fire. One famous example is the new kind of barber where a person’s hair would be cut using fire. The result is surprisingly neat, and it is perfectly safe for the scalp as well as hair. 

Furthermore, heat would make traveling across the globe possible. There are many areas in the world that are extremely cold due to the weather condition as well as their position in the globe. Without the presence of heat, it would be impossible for mankind to explore many places on this Earth. Without the usage of energy to create artificial heat, people would not be able to explore Antarctica as well as the North Pole. Moreover, people would not be able to live around Iceland or some other cold regions in the northern hemisphere without heat. 

The advancement in technology would also be impossible without the presence and usage of heat. There are many things in the technological world, such as the making of chips or computer boards, that rely on heat. Hence, without the element of heat, mankind would still be stuck without technology such as lights as well as smartphones, which make the lives of many people more convenient.

Heat is also useful in the military world, where weapons and missiles are made using heat to protect the borders of many nations. The usage of heat to create weapons started a long time ago when blacksmiths used fire and hammer to shape swords and spears for the soldiers to guard their nations. 

In addition, the element of heat is also used in many entertainment industries, such as circuses, where many people from all ages would come to see it. The circus players have started to use fire in their tricks ever since hundreds of years ago, and it has never failed to make the audience gasps in awe. 

Another benefit that mankind can reap from heat is actually in the medical world, where there are many heat-related medical devices, such as lasers, that are used to treat patients and save their lives. Such devices can be used as an alternative to surgery, where the risk of operation would be much larger compared to laser when treating cases like kidney stones. 

In conclusion, even though the element of heat can create havoc in people’s lives, it has so many more benefits that mankind has reaped all this time. Heat is not to be feared or deemed as evil, because it is a neutral element. Mankind should be wise enough to utilize this natural element to create advantageous circumstances in life.
