Passion

A great passion is inspiring. There are people across the world who do nothing but sit on the piano bench or with a violin in their hands. There are people that do love their career so much that they will work into their 90's. Is this not the purest expression of passion; to have a nearly unstoppable compelling feeling of love towards what you do? And yet this love seems selectively dispassionate. If your child spends every hour of his day playing Call of Duty, is he passionate or obsessed? What if he becomes the best player in the world? If the game were soccer or basketball, the answer would be obvious, for this is a passion. Do I have a passion for earning money, or am I obsessed with medicine? Where do you draw the line?
