The Earth’s upper mantle is composed primarily of peridotite. Under specific conditions, this mantle partially melts. At temperatures exceeding 1100°C, basaltic magma glows orange due to thermal radiation. When magma reaches the surface — whether along a mid-ocean ridge or at a coastal volcano — the molten basalt becomes briefly visible before cooling into black rock. Philosophical parallel: One's internal commitment is the source of energy. It manifests from time to time as strength, patience, perseverance, leadership, and direction. But it starts from within.
