Otherwise, Why Live?

October 8, 2007 by Blondette

A topic I think about a lot actually.

Conviction
passion
devotion

I spend time trying to figure out what I have/feel passion for. Sometimes I think it’s just that I am passionate about passion. Passion about people. Passion about feeling and thinking and connection.

synergy, serendipity, essence

Yes, I love those words–but they aren’t just words to me.

Someone who’s kinda smart, though sort of an idiot too, said this to me: “otherwise, why live?” Indeed.

To a degree, passion is about control. The external and internal forces that drive and motivate and control our lives. How do we reign in passion? and should we?

I don’t want to.

    Sometimes I think we should reign in our passion. For me, the passion I have for things, is what drives me to anger, frustration, leading to insecurities, breakdowns you name it.
    Damn you Katie Leas for making me admit such things and even more for making me THINK!!
