Gasoline

There are rare people who will fuel the fire inside of you, who will awaken a dormant passion, who will push you and better you.

There is a saying about people who "pour gasoline on a fire." When you do that you are just making things worse and probably also going to get burned.

A less common idiom is "pouring Vaseline on a fire." The thing is, Vaseline is also pretty flammable and even if it's only a small fire you're going to get burned because you'll be standing there so long trying to pour the Vaseline and that isn't always a quick process.

Or so I've heard.
