A friend of mine had a quote on his Facebook page recently, and it really struck me. It is about living with passion and having a feeling about things, rather than indifference. Here it is:
"An expressed feeling, positive or negative, trumps indifference."
"An expressed feeling, positive or negative, trumps indifference."
I guess because I am a very passionate person, I just don't understand people who aren't. I don't think there's anything wrong with all of us being different and on different places on the 'passion spectrum', but I have a hard time relating to people who are indifferent or do not show/express true passion about anything.
Even if a person's passion is, for instance, cats. I do not particularily like cats all that much - primarily because I am allergic to them, so they represent discomfort. I am definitely a dog person, but I can TOTALLY respect people who are passionate about cats because I am equally passionate about dogs (especially cute wiener dogs!). Get where I'm going with this one?
I might be on the more extreme end of the spectrum (really?? No, that couldn't be... hahaha) and so when I love something/someone, I REALLY LOVE them. For instance, I LOVE the color red, dill pickles, my wiener dog Maggie, massages, Texas, Europe, etc. I ABSOLUTELY am passionate about loving those things. But in the past, I have talked to people who don't seem to have passion for anything in particular - not even just different passions than my own. I DON'T GET IT!
Thoughts????

I too, am a person of passion and either HATE something or LOVE it. We share that and am glad we do.
PS I HATE the title of your blog and it makes as me uncomfortable as the song does.
The only thing MORE uncomfortable about my title on this post is if The Moustache were in the room while talking about "Passion"!!! hahaha
