Fire and ice by robert frost

Some say the world will end in fire
some say in ice
but what i've tasted of disire
i hold with those who favor fire
but i think i know enough of hate
to say the destruction ice
is also nice and would sufice

the poem goes along these likes and really speaks something to me. But it starts at the title
Fire and Ice
thats how alot of things are alot of the time. Yes or no. Fire or ice. hot or cold. this way or the total opposite. Not always a good thing but just how it is, how life can be.
then the first line. Some say the world will end in fire. This is like exactly how it sounds some say the world will end in fire. Fire can mean all sorts of things. Disire, fire, heat, wrong, hell, red, maddness, ect.
And some say in ice. Ice can be pertrayed as other things as well. Inevitableness, coldness, frozen, but mainly inevitableness for me.
Then it says from what ive tasted of disire, i hold with those who favor fire. This to me means that I have even done wrong and i know it "tastes" good so who else wouldn't? So i agree with fire because its alot ot resist.
But because i know enough of hate or because i know its wrong
to say the destruction ice, would also be nice and would sufice, this, the last three lines to me mean that because i do know that maybe the world would end better inevitably instead of from our doing and that would be nice and if others woulds see that to i would in fact happen or sufice.

i do think about how the world will end but its kinda the opposite for me. I believe the would will end in fire because of our wrong doing and nobody is going to get the whole world to listen so it would end inevitably so why even think it would be nice?
yes it would be nice but we humans are greedy little creatures and most of us dont even worry about the world.
Fire in my opinion could also be polution becase it is ending the world and its evil for say.
but for the poet to even get his hopes up for the inevitabiliy is silly.
