~passion~

hmmm...

what is passion? how do you feel passion? Is passion an emotion or action or nothing? Is passion similar to interest? Is it some theoretical or some empirical formula or it's just some practical stuff? i hope it's not some rocket science that i'm trying to crack here...

the more i think of it, the more complicated or complex "passion" sounds to me...

If it's a feeling, can it be develop? Can it be share? Can it be train? or Can it be cultivate? Or it's just something you have it or you don't. Does the creative or innovative people out there have some sort of passion that makes them someone? Do you need passion just to be a scientist ar?

I've been giving some thoughts about this and still couldn't find the right answer for it. Maybe, it's because it's not within me or i haven't really felt it or maybe not everyone could have it? It's that difficult to own some passion? Would you rather have more passion or more $$$? Would passion brings you more $$$ or more problem or more "LIFE"?!?!

This is what i got from Oxford website:
passion
• noun 1 very strong emotion. 2 intense sexual love. 3 an outburst of very strong emotion. 4 an intense enthusiasm for something. 4 (the Passion) the suffering and death of Jesus.
— DERIVATIVES passionless adjective.
— ORIGIN Latin, from pati ‘suffer’.

Is "Passion" troubling me? hmmm... maybe not... Is just been playing around in my mind for this couple of days and I thought it'll be good to do some study or R&D(sounds like doing some research paper nia :p) on it or rather try to understand it further. Not sure how much all these materials or readings going to help me but i doubt it.

Am I now clearer of the subject or i'm even more confused than beginning???

Orh gosh, i noticed that i'm like being a 3yrs old kid asking for an answer to a subject which i won't understand or even i do, will i be able to practice them?

PASSION... what really is you??? Can someone decrypt "PASSION" for me...

hmm... Passion?

To my understanding, passion can be

1. Doing something you love to and with all your heart and all the time you can have, i.e. watching horror movies... :p

2. The unconditional Love that Christ has for mankind, i.e. Love someone regardless of who and what they are/did.

3. Indulge in passionate love making that put the body, soul and mind between 2 person into 1.

Does this help?

Passion is something that you have the burning desire when you are doing it. It is like the fuel when you are doing something that you really like.

anonymous: u r indeed right. guess we did discussed this topic before. thanks again for ur feedback ;)

ribena: yeah yeah... same here... tt's y i'm doing some studies on it but no point doing alot of studies like me:p perhaps you r right, we need to be patient and continue to explore and see new things... i'm sure it's there somewhere waiting to be discovered. the earlier you discovered it, guess it'll be better for you :D
