Dormant volcano within ourselves
Many of us have a dormant volcano within us which explodes sometimes depending on situations. This can be both in a positive sense as well as negative sense.By positive sense I mean sometimes a lot of talent, unfulfilled desires and emotions lie hidden within us and we are too shy and hesitant to display it in public. But our heart is constantly pounded by these hidden traits which always want to come out to the world. It is like a river with the strong current which is stopped by a dam but when current overshoots the limits dam gate has to be opened. Depending on environment and situation such persons may find a dormant volcano deep within themselves erupt. When this happens they forget all their hesitations and shyness and come out of their shell to display their hidden talents to the world.
For example, a person who has singing as his passion and is hesitant to perform in front of public will find himself humming and tapping his feet when some other singer sings his favorite song on the stage. He will feel deep urge within him to perform and if his volcano erupts he will run on to the stage and start singing in front of the people.
If we talk about this in negative aspect sometimes there are people who are introvert and try to keep everything to themselves. They are quiet, never get angry, never share their sorrows and difficulties in life with others and always like to keep things to themselves. So such persons also have a dormant volcano within them as slowly frustration will build up within them as they do not let it out. So sometimes in extreme situation when things go outside their tolerance capacity such persons will display a very vigorous outburst of anger and pent-up emotions to the world which is like a volcano erupting.
So as humans it is natural that sometimes people will have dormant volcanoes within them which may erupt at times.
