Passion



Passion is a powerful thing.
It's one of the most powerful emotions around.

Passion isn't just about love however, as you may believe.

"Passion (from the Latin patior, meaning to suffer or to endure) is an emotion of feeling very strongly about a person. Passion is an intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for anything. Passion often applies to an eager interest in a proposal, cause, activity or love."

That's the dictionary definition of it anyway...

Passion is a feeling of excitement, enthusiasm and compelling emotion towards a subject, idea, person, or object. Passion gives us strength and motivation, but we have to be careful.Passion is the source of our finest moments - our great loves and ecstasies - but it also has a dark side. It is the foundation for our darkest emotions; hatred, jealousy and grief.

Passion lies in all of us. Waiting, and although unbidden, it will stir. Open it's mouth and scream. It is constantly speaking to us, guiding us. It rules us all, and we obey. We haven't really got a choice in the matter...

It can cause us more pain than we can stand. If we could stop our passions we might finally have some semblance of peace in our lives. But if it wasn't in our lives we would be empty. We would walk in a hollow world, with no joy or sadness. If we had no passion, we wouldn't be alive.
