What about bonfires give a grounding reality to other people at Festis?

For people who are like tent fluent and literally tour, what is it about fires that ground your reality to other peoples and make you feel unified? I mean being cold sucks, but, why is this like this, or do u not think that also

For me, my Dad would come down and visit ever couple months. Us & all the brothers would sit around the bond fire all night and drink beer. It was a bonding moment..

So, when I get around a fire, I tend to bond with everyone. I'm sure the Cave-men did the same thing. Not drinking beer, but relaxing & eating some game.. Grunting at each other & bonding. Blowing off some steam.

A fire does have a tranquil, hypnotic, and therapeutic effect.
 
Basic instinct :) - to the majority of us it means safety, comfort. If your in a festival then its often the last source of light, we go there seeking other people (in the same state of mind? ).

Just sitting with other people (that you have no interaction with) is better than sitting alone in your tent etc
 
It's warm and it feels nice if it's cool or cold outside at night. Plus that is what our ancestors did gathering around a source of fire or even a hearth indoors.
 
I think bonding and safety over warmth. I say this because people who live in crazy heats will light a fire regardless of the outside temperatures :D.
 
You bond with other "moths" because beyond the fire's ring of light and warmth is a dark cold world full of (mostly) imagined hostile creatures that are repelled by the bond... fire ;)

I'm always the one to poke the bonfire with a stick, just can't help it!
 
A bonfire provides tactile, olfactory, auditory, and visual stimulation.
 
It's that unified feeling of slight discomfort because everyone is having their eyeballs scorched by the hot hot smoke which is wafting around the circle?
