Why do we play with fire?

I’m asking about actual fire. I pride myself on making a beautiful fire, be it in the fireplace or a fire pit. I’ve tried to master starting one naturally and with matches. I rearrange the logs, I poke it with a stick, I stare at it. I take pictures of my fires. At night, around a campfire, I get lost in thought staring deep into the embers. I wave my hand over the flames. I experiment with sticking my marshmallows deep into the depths versus being patient and rotating them slowly just out of flames reach.
Why do people play with fire? What is so alluring?
