Passion

So many times I feel "strongly" about a certain thing. I feel as though in some way or another, that I am connected to this feeling. For so many years I have been "Passionate" about certain things, clinging to them as a leaf holds to a tree. Though the leaf may be only a small part of the big picture (and it is blown about with any disturbance in the air), the tree would not be complete without it. Just as the tree, this world would not be complete without each of us (people) doing that which we feel is our part to do.

What is passion? Wikipedia's definition is that "Passion is the emotion of feeling very strongly about a subject or person." I would agree that this is a true statement and affects each and every one of us in some way or another. But the tragedy is that some never follow their "passion," they follow life looking for money or material possessions and those never carry over into anything except the want for more. Why is it that we do not do what we like, love what we do, and want what we love? Would this world be a little more pleasant if everyone would follow their passion? Would their be those who are hungry, cold, or sick? If we all were happy from day to day, how much more would we be willing to do for our neighbor?
