Passion

Passion, according to my friend webster, is defined as an "emotion that is deeply stirring or ungovernable".


No, its actually not about love. Not at all. Even though love might last forever for some, it is not as intense (and - oh so good) as passion.



The cure for this boredom of life, of long days and mean people is passion . For something, even better for someone. It just adds meaning to life.


According t to Descartes there are six ‘primitive’ passions :wonder, love, hatred, desire, joy, and sadness. An this same academic article explains that, such passions "are not meaningless agitations of the animal spirits, but ingredients in the good life.” (Frijda, 2000, p. 6)
Personally, I agree.

I want to feel passion, I want to feel pain. I want to weep at the sound of your name. Come make me laugh, come make me cry... just make me feel alive.” Joey Lauren Adams
